Good afternoon Discovery family. I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend. Thanks to everyone for your support for our Spring BBQ on Friday. We were able to raise roughly $3900 which will go towards different supplies for our students to use at DHS. Below are the announcements for the week. On Tuesday, our sophomores will be traveling to ASU for a tour. Those students should plan to be at school by 7:30 to allow us plenty of travel time so we can arrive in Boone by 9:00. Our Junior/Senior prom will be on Saturday at The Barn at Coley Creek. If you have any questions or need to purchase a ticket, please see Ms. Ward. Spring Break will be Friday April 18th through Sunday April 27th. This week's Character Awards can be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IZ-oXUM_H1qvi-R_O2oNzVS2Qz8SY019/view?usp=sharing.
