WHAT A FUN NIGHT OF BASKETBALL! Both JV teams won, and the girls' varsity team played well against a very good, competitive St. Francis team -- who is ranked in the state. Congratulations to the DCHS Varsity Boys who got their first win last night! Every single player on the team was a part of that victory. A special shout out to the cheerleaders and the student section who stayed through the end of the game to cheer on our team and to the DCHS Singers. (No one sings the National Anthem like you do!) Great job, DCHS!
SCORES:
JV Girls 32-18
JV Boys 21-12
Grils Varsity 34-43

Congratulations to Bryant Addleman - a four-year member of KMEA. (He also participated in KMEA in junior high!)
If you saw him as The Cat in the Hat in this year's musical -- or any of the other three musicals he's been in -- or been to a vocal concert, you know what an incredible singer and entertainer he is.
DCHS Students collected 567 items for the Oberlin food pantry. The seniors won the class competition, followed by the sophomores.
Thank you to all of the students who contributed food items and cleaning supplies and to the 7th and 8th graders and Mr. Hardwick who helped transport everything to the pantry.
Thank you also to Breyana Gehring, Gabbie Vontz, and Kamryn Oien for counting all of the items.
