DMWS Celebrates 75 Years!
Thanks to all of you who have made our recent 75th celebrations so much fun.
The Gala to raise money for our tuition assistance program was a huge success. Many thanks to the Gala Committee led by Lindsay Roberts. Other members were Kat Murray, Sabrina Sasser, Chesley Sneed, Amy Wilson and Julie Allen. Brian and Anna Murphy chaired our 50/50 raffle. Samantha Martinez created a video about our school. The October 24 event was filled with wonderful food, amazing silent auction items and lots of opportunities to connect with one another.
Sunday afternoon, October 26 was filled with fun on the playground (everyone loves a great bounce house!), opportunities to tour classrooms and a terrific show by a magician. Thanks to our Parents’ Council for organizing this event.
On Monday, October 27 we hosted a Legacy Luncheon so former staff members could join in the celebration. Current and former staff were able to connect and look through some of the archives of photographs. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!
