The DFJHS combined Choirs held their Fall Chorus Festival Monday night, and they did not run out of steam! In commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad, the choirs wow'ed us with songs of the railroad.  From "John Henry" to "Chatanooga  Choo Choo," they didn't disappoint!  Congrats to Mrs. Lewis and all the amazing voices!

With the arrival of Midterm last week, we felt it was time to celebrate all the amazing things our students are accomplishing so far this year!  So, yesterday, we pulled all our students that met our criteria (No Ds or Fs, No Ns or Us, No Tardies) down to the Gymnasium for an impromptu DANCE PARTY!  Additionally, the students all were given ice cream sandwiches. 

Thanks to all our amazing students for your hard work so far this semester! Your commitment to excellence will reward you throughout your life!
