This has been Homecoming week at Desert Hills, with daily activities culminating in Friday's JV and varsity games, at 4 and 7 p.m. Join the Thunder family at a tailgate celebration beginning at 4 p.m. in the parking lot by the football field. There will be plenty of food and lots of Thunder gear! The Homecoming dance, a masquerade ball, is Saturday, with pictures from 6:30 to 8:30, when the dance begins.
Our other fall sports teams are in full swing. Catch the excitement! Game dates and locations are on the school calendar posted on dhthunder.org.
Excitement hasn't been just on the fields. In the classroom, Linda Brown's students have been using their computer programming skills to program "Lego Mindstorm" robots to dance, with a robotic dance competition coming up. Local illustrator/animator/designer Jared Beckstrand visited Derek Smith's Advanced Graphic Arts class, inspiring students with his success story, including animation for several Disney movies. We are honored that Beckstrand designed our Thunder logos.
Parents of juniors and seniors, make sure your students take the ACT test. The next test date is Oct. 22; register by Sept. 17. Visit www.actstudent.org for test dates, information, and to register online.
School photo retakes are Sept. 15. A reminder, too, that all school-related fees can be paid online, and accounts are updated daily. Check the link on our website.
Please send your prayers and good thoughts to Lori Whitehead, our counseling secretary, who has been very ill and is in the hospital. We miss her!
