DHS Key Club Culver's Night is tonight! Dine from 5-8pm and proceeds directly support the club! #BePurple
Attention DPS Families! Please read the following graphic about this week's downtown crosswalk maintenance.
As we continue our November focus on Diabetes Awareness, this week's reminder is all about the healthy choices we make each day!
Eating balanced meals, choosing water more often, enjoying fruits and vegetables, and being mindful of added sugars are simple habits that can support our overall health and help manage blood sugar levels.
Healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated! Small, consistent changes can make a BIG difference over time. Whether we're at school, at home, or on the go, every healthy choice is a step in the right direction.
Healthy Minds 💜 Healthy Bodies 💜 Healthy Habits
