Ms. Rebman and Mrs. Bramblett's ELA classes hosted their first book club last week. Students were able to choose one of five books and will be reading them throughout the semester. During their first book club, students shared projects they had created representing their chosen book and came together to create informational posters discussing the first few chapters of the book they had selected.

Our custodians work tirelessly to keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming for students and staff every single day. From early mornings to late evenings, their hard work often happens behind the scenes, but it makes ALL the difference.

We are so thankful for their dedication, positive attitudes, and the care they put into making DJHS a great place to learn. 🐾

If you see one of our amazing custodians today, be sure to give them a big thank you! 👏
