TODAY IS AN “A” DAY
PLEDGE & MOMENT OF SILENCE
THANKSGIVING BREAK IS Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, November 27-29,
2013.
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 17th. 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.
