PINK OUT! 🩷 DCMS understood the assignment for the first day of Spirit Week!

We are blown away by the incredible spirit today. Seeing our hallways flooded with pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month was a powerful reminder of what this community is all about: coming together and supporting one another. The energy was amazing!

Kicking off Spirit Week with a powerful message! As we "Pink Out" our hallways today, let's also remember that October is National Bullying Prevention Month. 💜

We are so proud of our incredible DCMS Student Council Association (SCA) for leading the way. Here they are, hard at work creating posters to spread kindness and awareness throughout our school. Their dedication to making our community a better place is truly inspiring!

Creating a safe and supportive community takes every single one of us. Being an upstander, offering a kind word, or including someone can make all the difference.
