An Important Message to DMHS Alumni
May 1, 2020
Dear DMHS Alumni:
The pandemic may have disrupted our lives and turned classroom learning into distance learning, but our organization continues to support academic excellence at DMHS.
We at the DMHS Alumni Educational Alliance are working with the principal, Mr. Benjamin Suro, to find new ways to help the faculty implement distance learning and to adapt existing activities to the new reality. In fact, some distancing and other disruptions will still be here when school resumes in the fall, and we want to give our faculty and students every chance to adapt.
We do not attempt to dictate, or even to guide, educational objectives or curriculum; we leave that to the professionals. We only finance projects that the District cannot. As you know, the way we work is to invite teachers or administrators to apply for our grants, which ordinarily have a maximum of $2,000, but can be more for special projects.
Just to update you, in the past year we have supported:
Our lone fundraising event each year is our June barbecue. That, of course, had to be cancelled and we do not expect to be able to reschedule it until next spring. Therefore, we ask you all to donate whatever amount you would have dropped into the donation jar. In fact, since we expect that many of the innovative distancing solutions will be technology-based, and since technology is expensive, please consider giving even more.
To donate, you can:
Please do your part to allow DMHS students to emerge from the pandemic as strong as ever and ready to take on what will be a very new world.
