Way to Rock, D-E Jazz Rock!  The Upper School’s annual Jazz Rock Winter Concert was performed earlier today to a packed, enthusiastic audience in Schenck Auditorium.  Scheduled on the final day of classes immediately prior to winter break, this year’s concert held up to D-E tradition. This year’s show featured songs ranging from contemporary classics to pop hits including “Love Fool” (The Cardigans); “Treasure” (Bruno Mars); “Man I Need” (Olivia Dean); and “L’Amour De Ma Vie” (Billie Eilesh). Our student vocalists and instrumentalists clearly D-Elighted the crowd and inspired student lighting designs added to the experience. Highlights also included blindfolded and back-playing guitar solos, and a fantastic finale of “Moves Like Jaggar” (Maroon Five) featuring our D-E Dancers! Bravo & thanks to ALL our D-E Jazz ‘Rockers’ for a great holiday send-off! 

The annual 8th Grade Paper Rollercoaster Expo rolled into D-E’s Middle School (MS) Building earlier today! This showcase event was the culmination of students’ hands-on study of (and appreciation for) the laws of physics and Newton’s Laws of Motion. Visiting fellow D-E students, MS parents, and faculty/staff enjoyed creatively-designed, handcrafted ‘rollercoasters’  with themes including Jurassic Park, MarioKart Underwater, Lucky Charms, and more. To our MS scientists: nice work & keep on rolling! 

D-E’s annual Lower School (LS) Holiday SingAlong Assembly yesterday held up to tradition! With festive lights and hundreds of happy smiling families, the LS Gym was transformed into a lively, lovely holiday-esque scene. Students and LS faculty/staff sang seasonal favorites together, including the quintessential classic “Jingle Bells”, and were also treated to a performance by the LS Chorus.  CHEERS to our LS for setting a D-Elightful tone for the holidays!
