Happy Friday DDS Families, 

We hope you survived the cold snap this week. It is definitely sweater weather! On that note, if you happen to be missing some sweaters or outdoor wear, please ask your child to check our growing ‘lost and found’ collection. 

 Starting next week, we are going to designate Fridays as DDS Spirit Days. Students are invited to wear DDS clothing or items with DDS colours – green, blue, and/or purple. Let’s build a sea of spirit on Fridays as a fun way to beat this cold. You can view examples of DDS school spirit wear on our school website

 Wishing you a fabulous weekend ahead!
