It is Wooly Week 2025!!! All of Mrs. Fitzanko's Honors Spanish classes have been working hard all week delving into new vocabulary and phrases through song and storytelling. Throughout the week they have been working on fun activities, listening, speaking and writing. Even though they are still working hard, it has been a delightful change of pace from the norm right before Spring Break. They were even visited by La Sustituta today! #BePurple

Meet Voices United, a new choir initiative that brings together students from our Life Skills room and members of our curricular choirs!
This unique ensemble was created to provide an inclusive and enriching experience, helping students connect, grow, and, most importantly, share the joy of music! Beyond getting to know each other, our talented choir members have been hard at work learning to play various instruments and singing together. So far, they’ve been jamming to popular songs like Country Roads, Timber, Sweet Child O' Mine, Beat It, and of course, some Disney tunes!
Want to catch their debut performance? Come to the choir concert on May 2nd! It is in the DHS auditorium at 6:30pm. We hope to see you there!
We also want to give a shout out to the student who helped make this collaboration possible. While the two teachers involved in this ensemble are our choir teacher (Ms. Rogers) and our life skills teacher (Mrs. Gordon), Voices United would not be possible without our student leader, senior Grace Shoemaker Fenwick, who is both a choir member and helps in the life skills room during the day! She envisioned this partnership, and was instrumental in helping make it happen! We are very proud of Grace!
