The Class of 2030 is in its final week before high school. We had a blast at Funtown (and got some ice cream on the way back). Tonight was the Semi-Formal. It was great seeing all the students dressed to the nines, but even more fun to see them cheer on Tucker's debut guitar performance, and then take breaks from the dance floor to play a little chess. They are a dynamic, fun, creative bunch - watch out, Dirigo High School, here they come. Go Cougars!

This year's theme for Dirigo Diversity Day at DMS was "Keep It Local." The day focused on learning about what makes us, us. We had historical society representatives from all four of our towns, ND Paper, interesting neighbors, regional historians, and local experts. In the afternoon, students also learned about the different backgrounds of several staff members, and they got to try some foods from around the world. Thank you to the MANY people who volunteered their time to make today happen. Go Cougars!

Mr. Coolidge, Mr. Van Lieu, and several 2nd-year students from Region 9's Building Construction program joined us at TWKDMS today for our latest "experience." Students at TWKDMS earn points throughout the year by having good attendance, passing classes, positive behaviors, and more. They can save up and spend these points on prizes, gym time, or experiences like this. Region 9 sends a different program over to us each month. Go Cougars!
