October 2021

Through a grant, DFMS got to have Stand 4 Kind come to DFMS today to kick off our Red Ribbon and Kindness Week. Guest speaker Duncan Kirkwood gave a message about being resilient, kind, and drug free. The band Poolhouse performed three songs for the students and spoke about the importance of being a good friend. And our very own Diamondback Dancers got to perform for the whole study body. Our Stand 4 Kind student leaders and our Character Ed class will be sponsoring activities all week. 

6th graders who worked hard on their grades, attendance, and citizenship for term one got to spend the day at the BYU athletic fields playing all kinds of sports with BYU athletes, including lacrosse, tennis, football, soccer, track, basketball, gymnastics and more! Cosmo and the BYU cheer squad even paid them a visit! Student athletes spoke to the students about the importance of working hard toward your goals whether athletic or any admirable endeavor. 

7th grade students who worked hard during term one on their attendance, grades, and citizenship got to take part in the first Diamondback Day of the year! 7th grade students and their teachers  spent the day roller skating, playing games, and having fun at Classic Skate in Orem. 

Our 6th graders got to view live theater as BYU Theater presented the magical tale of Luna, a magical tale of a migrant family and their daughter It is a story of  finding friendship and hope. This spring BYU Theater return to perform a Shakespeare play for our 7th grade.
