DMC News: We are pleased to announce that we completed a grant with the City of Henderson, for their education
fund, and we were awarded $15,000.00! We are very grateful to the City of Henderson for accepting and funding our
grant. It will go towards additional document cameras for teachers to use with distance learning, software programs,
projectors which have gone out in our classroom smart-boards, and cameras for teachers’ laptops and computers.

DMC Announcement: We regrettably must cancel our 5th Grade Alumni Celebration which was going to take
place this month due to district restrictions on in-person/face-to-face school sponsored events. We had planned on
inviting our (now) 6th graders back for an evening BBQ and celebration because they missed their end-of-year Aloha
celebration we hold every year for our 5th graders. We are planning on another type of certificate and supply pick-up
to try to make it special for them, more information and dates to come.
A Look Ahead:
*Dates are always subject to change.
