The DHS “Schools Building Schools” group held their first fundraising event on Friday.

“Access Denied” required students and staff to purchase tickets to allow access to certain areas of the school of Friday, including some washrooms, the library and the staff room.

The event was designed to raise funds and have the student body of DHS reflect on the difficulites that are faced by those who do not have access to the facilities that we do.

Schools Building Schools is a student-run initiative based out of schools across Northwestern Ontario that aims to raise enough funds to build a new Tierra Blanca School in E Asintal, Retalhuleu, Guatemala.

Tune in to CJBN TV at 6:30 pm tonight, as the DHS Schools Building Schools group will be showcased on “Points North”. The footage was filmed at a Schools Building Schools training session here in Dryden and features images from Tierra Blanca as well as student interviews.

The Envirothon Team, accompanied by Mrs. Boone, went on a field trip on November 17, 2009. The team explored a local trapline with Dwaine Brown, President of the Dryden Trapper’s Council. The focus of the trip was to observe and learn about wildlife habitat; members of Envirothon had an awesome time. The team agreed that one of the highlights of the trip was standing on top of a beaver house and learning about beaver living patterns.
