Hispanic Heritage Month - Movie Nights

DNA had a good showing at the White Pigeon "Trash" Tournament this weekend. All the questions at the tournament focused on music, sports, and other bits of pop culture.  

• The team of Landen Butch, Alan Juarez, Wilson Lin, Eleanor McMullen, and Mia Rodriguez went 5-0 in their morning bracket to qualify for the top 4.  In the afternoon, they went 1-2 in that top bracket to finish in 3rd place overall.  
• As individuals, Alan Juarez and Mia Rodriguez finished in 10th and 11th place, respectively.  

Way to go DNA!  The team will have their final competition on April 12, when they travel to UM-Ann Arbor for the State Finals.

This pop-up exhibit brings to life the story of the young Jewish girl who – in the pages of her world-renowned diary – documented two years of hiding in German-occupied Amsterdam during World War II. By sharing Anne's legacy with visitors, student docent leaders will inspire our community to never be bystanders but instead to stand up together against antisemitism, bigotry, and inequality wherever it may exist today.

SAVE THESE DATES:

• April 21- May 10 | Exhibit Open at HHS Media Center
