Guest Speaker

Andrew Lunetta,  a graduate of LeMoyne, talked about his journey to help those suffering from addictions and homelessness. He started a program called Pedal to Possibilities which is a group bike ride in the city of Syracuse for homeless people. It acts as a way to build a community and break down barriers with the homeless. He opened up a home called The Possibilities Home, which is a place for homeless to try to change their lives. 

Service Learning Posters

Students created posters to encourage and support service learning!

 

Service Learning

National Junior Honor Society students gave a presentation to DMS students on service learning.  They shared what it means to them, why they do it and how they want to make a change in the world and help change someone's life... Including their own! Their hope is their message will encourage their classmates to do the same. 

End of the Marking Period Recognition

We recognized a number of students for their achievements throughout the first marking period. Congratulations to all our students and their achievements.  Keep up the good work!!!

Honoring our Veterans

What is a veteran and what is Veteran’s Day?  Students from Mrs. Carey’s 5^th grade class spent time interviewing family members, relatives, or family friends who have either served in a branch of the military or are still presently serving.  They then wrote an essay and created a visual display honoring that service member.  Bridget Manahan, a student in Mrs. Carey’s class, said it best…….”What does Veteran’s Day mean to you?  Honestly, to me it meant, “Yes!  We get a day off from school!”  But now I know what Veteran’s Day is really for.  It’s for honoring the people who have served and are still serving to protect our country.”  

Citizenship and Effort Breakfast

Congratulations to all our 4th, 5th and 6th grade students who were recognized for Citizenship and Effort at our PTA sponsored quarterly breakfast this morning! Way to go students!
