What's Happening @ DACS?

Students, volunteers and staff have been working incredibly hard for “A Dangerous Journey” musical!

You have two opportunities to view this wonderful musical:

Next week Wednesday is our dress rehearsal, beginning at 1:30 p.m. You do not need to reserve tickets for the dress rehearsal.

On Friday April 10th at 7:30 p.m. we will have our big performance. Tickets can be reserved by going to the following link: www.dacslaurel.ca/musical.

We will be accepting donations to help cover the cost of the play (cash, cheque, or e-transfer: dacsfinance@gmail.com (earmarked school musical)). There will be additional parking at the church beside the school.

Come join us for this wonderful performance, as we are reminded of what Christ has done for all of us. His death on the cross has paved the way for a heavenly city that is prepared for us!

During the weeks of Monday, February 16 – Friday, February 27 we are encouraging our students to exercise their minds and join the “Great Reading Duck Derby!”

The purpose of this themed school-wide activity is to promote literacy as a life-long daily habit. The students will be reading to accumulate points to contribute to their class’s overall score in the competition. More details will be sent home with students.

Here are some special days to remember:

• Tuesday, February 24 – PJ/Comfy Cozy Day and bring your favourite book to school to share with your class.
• Thursday, February 26 – “Animal Dress Up Day” – dress up as a duck or like one of the animals in your favourite book.
• Friday, February 27 – Duck Olympics – students will spend the afternoon outside competing in the Duck Olympic games and enjoying some sweet treats!

Due to the snow day, the Christmas assembly had to be postponed.

The Grade 7 and 8 students would like to invite you to celebrate the New Year (and the birth of our Saviour) with DACS at an assembly on Monday, January 5th at 10:00am.  Thank you to the students in this class for your hard work in putting this together. We hope to see you there!

Our playground has been in serious need of an overhaul for so many years, and plans are in the works for an upgrade. Below you will see a rendition of what it could look like!

Between Building Committee and PR Committee we are brainstorming different ideas for fundraisers to help get the funding needed. If anyone would like to make a donation to this wonderful cause you can either send an e-transfer to dacsfinance@gmail.com or write a cheque addressed to Dufferin Area Christian School both using the memo “Playground.”

Thank you all for everything you have done to help us out and getting us this much closer to our students’ new playground!

God is so good!
