Welcome to D-C Middle School
"Together We're Better"
Spelling Bee Results
The Dassel-Cokato District Spelling Bee was held on Wednesday, February 3rd. Six students from each grade participated in the district bee and the top two spellers, Jack and Corey (both 7th graders), will move on to the Regional Bee at St. John's University on March 2. Jack and Corey also represented D-CMS at the regional bee as 5th graders. Good Luck Jack and Corey!
Activity Day
On February 22 we will hold our annual activity day. This is a full day during which students can take part in a wide variety of fun and exciting activities that provide
an incentive for students to behave well and earn good grades during
the second trimester. While there are requirements for participation, they do not preclude any students from some level of involvement.
You will soon receive a booklet describing each session being offered on that day. Please look through the booklet with your child and help him or her choose
sessions that you support. Because of limitations related to certain activities, students will need to select back-up choices as explained in the booklet.
Because we are sensitive to current economic conditions, we have made a deliberate attempt to provide a number of activities that involve either no or minimal cost. If a minimal cost activity still poses an economic challenge for
your child’s participation, please contact Sandy Jones, our school social worker for scholarship assistance.
Volunteers Needed for Feed My Starving Children
As part of our Activity Day Celebration, we are hoping to take a group of 20 students and parent volunteers to pack food at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) at the Chanhassen site on February 22 from 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM. Please
contact Jill Kittock, Pam Beckermann or Peggy Smith if you are interested in chaperoning this activity. To learn more about Feed My Starving Children, you may visit their website at http://www.fmsc.org/.
DC Marching Chargers Wants You!
Now is the time to start checking schedules and making plans to participate in the summer of 2010. The DC Marching Chargers Bands have had a long tradition of excellence and it would be great to increase numbers this year and put a strong ensemble on the street. The DC Marching Chargers work hard for the first few weeks of June and are then rewarded with a fantastic music and learning opportunity with a trip. Watch for an info letter from the music department with more details!
