Found a whole lot of heart in the hallways today! ❤️🎓
For Day 5 of our Black History Month spirit week, we celebrated HBCU Day alongside our Valentine’s spirit. Whether we’re representing the incredible legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities or spreading kindness in our favorite reds and pinks, today was all about one thing: Love. At DCMS, Black History Month is about more than just the past. It’s about building a future where everyone is celebrated, accepted, and loved. ✨🌹

📈💡 FBLA Meeting Highlight! 💡📈
Today our Deep Creek Middle FBLA members had an amazing time learning the basics of investing with Chris Ferretti , Ashley Ferretti, and TJ Bartakke from Integrated Financial Partners (IFP) 🙌 We’re incredibly grateful to them for volunteering their time and sharing real-world knowledge that made finance fun and approachable.
From learning key investment concepts to testing their skills on a stock market simulator, our members loved the challenge of trying to grow their money 💰📊 (and maybe getting a little competitive 😄).
Thank you again for inspiring the next generation of business leaders, we can’t wait to build on what we learned today!
