Class of 2023


Service Learning is an important part of the 6th grade team's commitment to helping students make a positive difference in the world around them. For more than fifteen years we have partnered with Alcott Elementary school in Pontiac. DCDS students are paired with a student in Kindergarten - 2nd grade; visiting with the students twice during the year to read and leave them with books to add to their personal home library. In the months between visits, sixth graders write to their elementary 'buddy' and send hats, mittens, playground toys, and holiday treats. Making a difference in the lives of our Alcott buddies has become a tradition that we look forward to in a very personal way each month.
