Thank You Dana PTSA!
As we end the school year, we would like to thank our outstanding Dana PTSA for all they have done for our school this year. School dances, after-school movies, book fairs, teacher grants, school fundraisers, and the general support of all Dana teachers and staff make PTSA a vital part of the Dana community. We are so fortunate to have had another amazing team this year and thankful for all of our parent volunteers throughout. We also want to thank all those who joined the PTSA this year!

Spring Emerson Awards
Last Wednesday Dana teachers honored a final round of students with an Emerson Award. These awards are given to students for a variety of reasons, but mainly because they make our Dana community a better place for all. Congrats to our trimester 3 recipients!

Rams Win!!!
For much of the second semester, the Rams House had less points than our other five houses. This past week however, the Rams surged ahead to win our Dana House competition, aided by their extraordinary House obstacle competition win on Thursday. The Rams House has earned extra lunchtime on Monday and a fun treat. (see below for the final point tallies)
