Thunderings from DHHS


Desert Hills debate is doing great! Celeste Reese placed first in oration at the Redman Ruckus tournament, Dec. 4. Julianna Hummel took first in humorous interpretation, and Megan Tholen placed second in dramatic interpretation. Debate coach Mike Eaton needs judges for January tournaments; call the school if you can help.

Theatre students will perform two plays on Dec. 15: “The Curious Savage,” at 4 and 6 p.m., and scenes from “The Miracle Worker,” at 8 p.m. Admission is free.

Marcee Christensen’s Child Development classes will hold a preschool day on Tuesday, Dec. 14, with student-planned activities. Kids 3 to 6 are invited to one of two sessions. Contact Mrs. Christensen for more information.

The DHHS Concert Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 14.

The Thunder BOLTS (Building Our Lives Through Service) collected canned food donations for Dixie Care and Share and monetary donations to an Angel Money Tree to help DHHS families who have lost loved ones or are struggling with catastrophic illness. Students donated 524 cans of food.

This year’s Senior Ball on Jan. 8 will combine formal elegance with selfless service, with several service projects available to students to replace the usual day-date expense. See advisor Janna Neville for more information.
