Achievers’ Night

 

On Wednesday, May 21 at 7 pm in the DHS Auditorium the 9th grade Idea students will be presenting their Achievers' projects. These projects are the culmination of a year of independent study on the topic of their choice. The projects represent many diverse interests.

 

There will be a poster session from 6- 6:50 where refreshments will 

be served and presenters will be displaying their work.

 

All are welcome to come to part or all of this event.  This is a great opportunity for younger children to be inspired and for the community to support the efforts of these young adults. For more information please contact Danielle Granath 655-9894.
