THIS DAY IN HISTORY:  

In 1915, a prototype tank nicknamed Little Willie rolls off the assembly
line in England. It weighed 14 tons, got stuck in trenches and crawled over
rough terrain at only two miles per hour. However, improvements were made to
the original prototype and tanks eventually transformed military
battlefields.

According to GLSEN, (the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network): "The
statistics couldn't be clearer - LGBT students do not feel safe in their own
schools. Bullying, harassment, physical intimidation are the norm for far
too many LGBT youth."  But organizations like the Gay -Straight Alliance
(GSA) can make a difference.  Join your fellow Blue Devils today at lunch in
L-28 (Mr. Wheeler's classroom) to find out how you can help create and
maintain a safe, positive campus for all students.

 

Attention current LINK Crew leaders: There is a mandatory meeting today

Come learn about two health related clubs, the Teen Health Awareness Club
and the Healthcare Careers Club, in S5 at lunch on Monday Sept 9th. The DHS

interests in health care and make a difference. We will host educational
events, a health professional led lecture series, and will work on projects
such as the student healthy recipe book and other fun new activities. The
