PTA News: Thank you to our DMC Community! Thanks to you we raised over $300 for our school for the Panda
Express Family Dinner Night! We appreciate your support to our school!

Huge Thank You: Our Drama Club program just received an amazing donation of $5,000.00! We are very grateful
and some of those funds went to purchase a new sound mixing board for our music program (as our current one was
extremely old and not working). As soon as we are given permission we will announce our generous donor!

News: As we continue to get notifications of lifted Covid Safety Restrictions, large assemblies have not been in those
restriction lifts. We still can only have up to 200 individuals within a confined space (such as our Multipurpose
Room) and that must include our students and staff. For this reason, due to our current guidelines as assemblies,
performances, and graduations are approaching we are LIMITING the amount of attendees. We are working to
always have a “live stream” available for people at home and will be giving out tickets for guests attendees. More
information will come as those events draw closer.
