 Dunwoody Strong Needs Your Support

                 

                     Donate Today

    The newly formed Counseling Advisory Committee

of parents and faculty is creating “Dunwoody Strong”.

Dunwoody Strong seeks to empower students, parents,

and staff with knowledge and skills from evidence-based

programs to promote mental and emotional health,

prevent substance misuse, and foster a strong community.  

Our campaign goal is $10,000. The first initiative is

supporting teachers with cell phone containers. We

need to raise $4,000 to cover the cost. That’s 100

people donating $40 each. Scan the QR code or pay via

PayPal to Dunwoody Strong today.

           Great Softball Despite the Rain

The rain might have impacted the amount of softball played this

past week, but it didn’t dampen any spirits.

 

Varsity got in one and a half games, with the first an exciting come

from behind victory against Southwest DeKalb (5-4). Dunwoody

scored 4 runs in the final 2 innings, with Allie Sleep and Brooke

Parkes having 2 big hits in the game. Alex Deupree’s walk off hit up

the middle claimed the W in the bottom of the 7th while Alyssa

Rosenkoff and Anslie Worley combined to take care of business

on the mound.

 

The team got in 3 innings against our friends at North Springs.

Alex Deupree hit a bomb that ensured a 2-2 tie. We’ll seek to

dominate a full game when we meet again later this season.

JV fans got their monies worth in the one inning that was played

against Mount Vernon. In the 5-all tie, Dunwoody saw hits by Ella

Smith, Sutton Travis, and Tabitha Gaines. Dunwoody will be able

to take care of business when the teams meet again this week.

 

Come out and cheer on the teams at home this week:

 

Varsity: Tuesday vs. Lakeside

 

JV: Wednesday vs. Mt Vernon and Thursday vs. Decatur

DHS Food and Basic Needs Pantry 

 
It is tough out there people. Many of us are blessed, and so many others are struggling. A DHS student, with the help school counselors and social workers, set up a food & basic needs pantry at Dunwoody High School to help those suffering from food insecurity in our area. This pantry is open to elementary, middle and high school age kids.  School counselors or social workers at local schools ensure that families in the area are connected if needed. Unfortunately, the number of families living in hotels is increasing daily. Families are having to choose food or a roof over their head.
 
If you can help, please consider purchasing items from the wish list. This list includes shelf stable foods, personal care items, snacks, and daily basics. 
 
Thank you for your generous hearts!
