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!

Quick reminder about dance expectations at TWKDMS. The Student Council's winter dance tonight is from 6:30-9:00 pm. We lock the doors at 7:00 pm, so no one else will be permitted to enter after that time. Parents/guardians will need to confirm with me if they will be picking students up early. Sometimes parents/guardians like to take pictures. We permit that in the lobby area for a little while, but before I lock the doors, I ask all adults to leave unless they are a pre-approved chaperone. The dance costs $3, and snacks are also available for purchase. Finally, a student must be on time and present on the day of the dance to attend, and must also be academically eligible. Go Cougars!

The forecast looks pretty good for now, but before we head into the February Break, I wanted to remind our families that future "storm" days will be "remote learning days" for RSU 56. The middle school students have information on what these days look like for us (if needed), and here is a link to our basic procedure: https://www.rsu56.org/o/twk-dirigo-ms/page/twkdms-remote-learning
