*************************************************************************

A VERY BIG THANKS to everyone who volunteered at this semester’s DHUMP Work Day, on Saturday, October 17.  Here are just some of the exciting activities undertaken by those who came:
– Refilled sand boxes
– Spread new mulch in the playgrounds and in the picnic area
– Dug out the playground gate and installed a step
– Raked leaves
– Pruned trees 
– Tidied up garden area
– Installed smoke alarms
– Fixed and replaced swings
– Drank coffee (thanks Starbucks L5P!) and ate donuts
– Enjoyed each other’s company on a lovely Fall morning!

I would particularly like to thank all the teachers who volunteered their time, and Norris Nelson, whose help with recruitment and advertising (and purchasing of donuts) was invaluable.  

If you missed this semester’s fun, please do come out in the Spring!  

All best wishes,
Gavin Drummond

We have a new feature on our website that you’ll want to check out.

What is Twitter?
One is Twitter. What is Twitter?Twitter is a free web-based “social networking” service that makes it easy to send and receive small instant messages called Tweets. You can receive these on any computer browser or as text on your wireless phone. We will be updating our Twitter page regularly with news and late-breaking information such as school closings due to weather or public health or safety alerts related to our school.  For more information on Twitter and how to set it up and use it on your PC, Mac or wireless phone (it must be able to receive text messages), please watch our tutorials:
