Welcome to a new school year! Our first month has been filled with creative learning activities, new clubs and friendships!

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS :

Grades K-2: We are so excited to be in our new space. We are learning routines, playing fun learning games, and building friendships

Grades 3-5: We are starting the new year with new clubs and activities. We have started a Tech club, added a DJHCC newspaper crew, and continued with some favorites, like outdoor explorers, craft, and LEGO club.

Grades 6-12: We are starting the new year with new and past favorite clubs and activities. We have started an e-sports team, created a new Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and are continuing with cooking club. 

 

Middle School Cooking Club is a huge hit!

 

Each month, we do student surveys to gather more student voice for our program! Here is a sample of one student’s response this month!

My favorite activity this Month… Cooking

Something new I learned… How to make pasta salad

I felt proud when… Definitely when I made pasta salad
