Happy Thursday, Hornets! 🐝

Tomorrow is our first Spirit Day of the school year! Let's show off our school spirit by wearing our special yellow PTA shirts. Students, teachers, and staff, let's all rock our gear and flood the school with a sea of yellow and purple! 💛💜

Don't have your shirt yet? No worries! We'd still love for you to wear our school colors—yellow or purple—or any Deep Creek Central gear you have.

Let's make this first Spirit Day one for the books! Share your photos with us using the hashtag #DCCEHornets so we can all see our amazing school spirit!

Go Hornets! 🚀

We got one! 🚨 Shout out to this awesome parent who finally returned their '𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡' sign from 2024-2025! We were just about to send a search party. 😉 Just kidding (mostly)! If your Hornet was Student of the Month for the month last school year, those signs are yours to keep! We'll have brand new ones for the new school year. Thanks for sharing the fun, Hornet families! We love seeing those smiles. 💜 #DCCEHornets #HornetPride #CreekFamilies #SOTM
