Thank you for the amazing Staff Appreciation Week! We have been spoiled all week long. From lunches and snacks to t-shirts and gifts. A special thanks goes out to Mr. Corzine, Mrs. Taylor, the DGS PTO, and parents and students for making us feel so special. We do what we do because we love the kids and love to see them grow and excel. We definitely felt the love and appreciation this week. Thank you again, DGS Staff

Please join us tonight as we celebrate our 8th graders. Graduation will be held in the gymnasium.

Today was "country" vs. "country club". Everyone looked great! Tomorrow is the last day of Staff Appreciation Week. Don't forget to wear your DGS gear!
