DHMS proudly presents the 2021-2022 Dragon Quill Literary Magazine. Congratulations to all of our writers and artists!

Dragons who will attend DHMS in the 2022-2023 school year will receive a bag of summer reading books to keep! All rising 6th, 7th and 8th graders should read at least 2 books this summer. All the details can be found on our Summer Reading website. 

The DHMS Library is offering summer book checkout for students returning to DHMS next fall. Be sure to turn in a permission form. In addition, rising 6th and 7th graders will receive a bag of free summer reading books and a summer reading assignment. All library books and book club books are due Friday, May 6. Please contact Ms. Kochel ([email protected]) if you have any questions. 

This week DHMS students can make teacher appreciation cards in the DHMS Library Creative Space or leave a message of appreciation on our Padlet (password required--listen to announcements or ask Ms. Kochel or use the usual library password). 

Do you like technology? Do you like teaching people new things? Do you want to learn job skills? Do you want to be an ambassador for the DHMS library? The Library and Technology Leaders ELT Class may be right for you. We are looking for current 6th and 7th graders who want to be part of a leadership team next year. Here are some of the things this class will do.

• Staff the Library during ELT by shelving books, serving as greeters, checking out books, and managing creative space activities
• Encourage reading by making presentations and posters
• Teach 6th graders new technology skills
• Learn and teach all kinds of technology skills
• Assist students in the library’s Virtual Reality Studio and with 3D Printers
• Create posters and marketing materials

We are looking for students who want to learn real-life job skills and who are self-directed (that means you can work independently without someone always telling you what to do and that you can see what needs to be done and do it). Use this Google Form to apply. Deadline isF Friday, March 13.

Students are encouraged to sign up for the DCSD summer enrichment program, Scholars Academy.
