Thunderings from DHHS

DHHS is celebrating Red Ribbon Week this week with a different activity each day, including short videos illustrating the dangers of substance abuse, student pledges against drug and alcohol use, and a poster contest among the art students. One video showed students the danger of driving while distracted by texting, a danger as serious as DUI. Yesterday saw students and staff lining up to make blood donation to the Red Cross Blood Drive. In an assembly arranged by AP History teacher Chris Cannon, students were able to listen to Stephen Nasser, author of “My Brother’s Voice” (Wordpress), relate his childhood experiences as a concentration camp survivor in Hungary during WWII on Monday. The presentation gave students a moving glimpse into the horrors of the Holocaust. On a lighter note, on Thursday, the juniors will show their creativity in a Halloween assembly, featuring dancing, singing, and a few surprises for the audience. Congratulations to our football team for their win against Hurricane, securing a place in region playoffs, and to our volleyball team, which heads to state competition at UVU on Friday. Our swimmers will compete at the Cedar Invitational on Friday.
