🎄✨ Dress Like an Elf Day at DHS! ✨🎄
Our halls were full of holiday cheer today, and Principal Elroy led the fun as our very own “Elf on the Shelf!”
She magically appeared in a new spot between each class period, and students who found her earned extra lunchtime as a reward.
What a joyful way to bring smiles, laughter, and a little holiday magic to our campus! ❤️💚

Duncan Band Boosters are hosting their 13th Annual Mattress Fundraiser on Saturday, January 31st, from 10am-5pm. This may sound odd, but it is the best way to buy a new mattress because the prices can’t be beaten, the brands are the same as retail stores, and every purchase benefits the Band Boosters.
Please help to spread the word!
