DMS Delivers
November 9, 2023
Dear DMS Families,
This week, Grade 8 students participated in the CTE Fair with students from DRRHS on Wednesday. All of DMS showed their #WeareDR spirit by wearing their best green and gold in support of this day. Also, the Dighton PTO WizFit Challenge officially kicked off this past Monday with a visit from the Harlem Wizards. If you have not already, please be sure to check- out the link provided for how you and your child can participate in this two-week PTO challenge.
In addition, DMS Student Government will be hosting Spirit Week as we move into the Thanksgiving break. Further details on Spirit Week can also be found below, along with information regarding the end of Term I, picture retakes (11/13/23), the final ACE Club flier, and Dighton Youth and DMS Basketball.
