Yesterday, we kicked off the celebration with a great pep rally to get everyone excited for todayâs Homecoming games.
Today, our 7thâ12th-grade students came together to prepare and share a Christmas meal of ham, potatoes, corn, green beans, bread, and desserts. Sitting down together as a school family made the day even more special.
Moments like these remind us what community is all about. Merry Christmas from DCLA.
