PLEDGE & MOMENT OF SILENCE

Damonte, can you imagine going to bed hungry each night, knowing that the next morning you still may not have any food? FCA and ROTC are partnering together for a canned food drive.  Last year, we competed against schools across our district, and we brought in 1500 pounds of food, which was enough for first place.  This year, our goal is 2000 pounds of canned food.  You can help out by bringing canned food or other non-perishable items to your first period class, and members of FCA and ROTC will come and pick them up.  The drive goes from Dec 3 to Dec 17^th.  Thanks Damonte, for helping out those who have less than you do.

Attention all Damonte students!  The Literary Club is putting together a student publication of your writing called Hoof Notes.  We are looking for all kinds of work including poetry, short story or prose, art and photography.  If you are interested in submitting something, find a submission sheet in your English classroom or the library, fill it out and put your work in the manila envelope.  Literary club members will pick it up from there.  If you like to write and are interested in possibly being published in our school literary magazine called Hoof Notes, please fill out a form.  As Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony then bearing an untold story inside you.”  See Ms. Servilican in room 214 if you have any questions. 

Literary Club is also searching for talented artists to create the cover of our literary magazine called Hoof Notes.  You must be a D.R.H.S. student to submit.  The name Hoof Notes has to be on the cover and your design has to depict our school mascot, a mustang, in some way.  We are accepting all types of medium:  drawing, painting, or digital design.  The winner of the contest will receive a $50.00 gift certificate to Meadowood Mall.  Please see Ms. Servilican in room 214 for a submission form and more information. 

The English department would like to congratulate November’s students of the month.  They are Gemma Lagasca, Jared Lam, Elise Wright, Nique (Nicky) Taylor, Brittani Hampton, Andrea Boyles, Bryan Ledezma, Christina White, Cassidy Werth and Talore (Taylor) Wiggins.  Congratulations for working hard in your English classes and being an awesome student!  The English teachers appreciate your work ethic. 

SENIORS, IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD YOUR YEARBOOK PICTURE TAKEN, there may still be time to schedule a sitting by calling Life Touch at 851-0444.  Otherwise, LifeTouch will be on campus one day only on December 9, 2013, to do make-up sittings. However, students who have their pictures taken then may not be able to choose which photo will be included in the yearbook.

The 2013-2014 Student Speakers Contest sponsored by the Lions Club is seeking students, grades 9 through 12, who excel in public speaking to enter their contest.  Scholarship awards are granted to those winners.  This year’s topic:  Electoral College:  Passé or Good for the Country.  If you would like more information about this contest please stop by the Career Center.

THE MAIN OFFICE STILL HAS A FEWING OPENINGS LEFT for responsible students with very good attendance, to be Office Aides for 2^nd Semester.  If you are interested, please see Mrs. Kenyon in the Main Office. 

HELP FEED THE HUNGRY-The library is hosting their annual “Food for Fines” drive.  If you owe less than $5.00 in library fines, you may bring in one can of food for every $1.00 that you owe in fines.  Thank you.
