Cards for the Troops
Senior Claudia Slawski conduct a senior project that asked students to create a holiday card for a soldier. With a support from Mrs. Fitzpatrick hundreds of holiday cards will be going out to the troops who cannot be home with their families for the holidays. We are very grateful for Claudia's focus and concern for the troops and to the students for their heartfelt notes to these hero's.

2014 Holiday Concert
A wonderful night that celebrates the holiday season took place with the Winter Concert here at DHS on Thursday night. As is always the case, our students performed wonderfully. We were entertained by the full Choral group as well as the Blue Light Special along with terrific performances by our Rifle, Flag and Majorettes. During the intermission we were entertained by the Jazz band as they performed in the cafeteria as everyone enjoyed some treats. The Concert Band closed out the show with a number of beautiful seasonal selections. New this year was a quartet that performed in the main foyer as the spectators were arriving to the auditorium. They performed well and it was a really nice addition to the evening.
Congratulations go out to all the students who performed during the concert event. They were excellent and provided the audience with a variety of great acts. A tip of the hat goes out to the students from our Music Tech classes for all their efforts with set-up, break down, lights and sound. They also did a really nice job.
Finally thanks go out to all of our advisors including Mr. DeNoncour, Mr. Elliot, Mr. Rheaume, Ms. Metcalf for their work with our band and choral groups. Thank you's go out also to Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Gagnon, Mrs. Gray and to the band booster's for all they do for the program and our students.
A nice night was had by all. And yes that is Nick Daly as the Snowman!!
