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.

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

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.

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