Over the past two weeks, students in the Science of Technology course have been immersed in a PLTW Design and Modeling project, working in teams to design, build, and test their own foot orthosis. With a set amount of supplies, they creatively "ordered" materials to construct their AFOs. This group project was both challenging and enjoyable, and we are incredibly proud of their impressive efforts and the success of their first project!

Project Prevent visited the Intermediate school today to deliver an anti-vaping presentation to our current 5th-grade students! The presentation aimed to educate students about the dangers of vaping and help them make informed decisions about their health. Project Prevent at DMS is dedicated to promoting a safe and vape-free environment for our school community!


Today, Mr. Tim Tanner with Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center Presented Bleed Control Basics to our 8th-grade students.
