Major Donation Supports Classical Music

An anonymous donor has created a special $20,000 fund dedicated to enhancing the experience of DMHS students in classical music.  The fund will be used to purchase student tickets to two New Jersey Symphony Orchestra concerts each year at the John Harms Theater in Englewood.  There is no limit to the number students who may attend each concert.  The donor stipulated that before each concert, a seminar must be provided to the students by a professional musician discussing the music to be performed.  The donor also stipulated that the fund be named The Cynthia and Al Golbe Endowment after friends of the donor who supported local music and art for many years.

The 2018 Alumni Barbecue

The annual Alumni Barbecue was held on June 23, 2018 and was a success despite the uncertain weather.  About 200 attended.  As always the free food, the DJ and the memorabilia displays were enjoyed by all.  This year's honoree was Gerry Schwartz of the Class of 1973, a major benefactor (see news item above).
