Hello, this is Kristen Faircloth, principal at Durant Road Middle School, with your September 21, 2019 weekly message

 

Thank you to all the families who participated in our Spirit Night on Tuesday, September 17, 2019 with Manhattan Pizza!  We raised more than $200 for our school thanks to your orders!!
 
 
Huge kudos to all the families and staff who came out on Saturday, September 21, 2019 to our "School Beautification Day!"  It was a fun filled day working together to clean up our campus.
 
 
The PTA will be holding a PTA Board Meeting on Tuesday, September 24, 2019 in the Learning Commons starting at 6:00 PM.  All are welcome to attend. 
 
 
Fall picture make up day is scheduled for Wednesday, September 25, 2019 during homeroom.  Only students who were absent on the original picture day and those who enrolled after August 27, 2019 will be photographed.   
 
 
On Thursday, September 26, 2019, 10 DRMS students will be heading to Greensboro to audition for the North Carolina Honors Chorus.  This is the most prestigious choral offering in North Carolina.  The students will be singing individually for collegiate judges who will choose the top 120 singers to participate in a weekend long choral clinic and performance in the Stevens Center.  Across the state, over 3,000 students audition.  It is truly an honor to be selected and we wish our Dolphins good luck!
