What's Happening @ DACS?

This past school week was jam-packed with lots of special days and activities!

Students and staff got to wear crazy socks and/or slippers, show their creativity with some fantastic book character costumes, don their favourite hats, and spend lots of time with some good books while buddy reading and participating in “Stop, Drop and Read!” Finally, the whole week was wrapped up with a skating afternoon at Grand Valley arena.

Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in making this busy week so enjoyable for all! Below are some pictures that capture a little of the fun.

Last week the Grade 7/8 class also held the Science Fair. Congratulations to all the students…your hard work really showed in all of your science experiments, studies and innovations!

We hope everyone has a blessed weekend and enjoys their March Break!

During the week of Monday, March 6th to March 10th we are encouraging students to POP OPEN A GOOD BOOK!

This is a school-wide activity to promote literacy as a life-long daily habit. More information came home with students last week.

Special events include:
* Tuesday, March 7th: “Reading will knock your socks off’ (Wear your craziest socks or bring your slippers for indoors today)
* Wednesday, March 8th: “Book Character Dress-Up Day” (Dress up like one of the characters in your favourite book)
* Thursday, March 9th: “Hats off for Reading” (Wear your favourite hat to school today)

We are looking forward to a fun and eventful week! Happy reading, students!
