DogPound Update

In honor of Black History Month (BHM) and this year’s BHM theme of “Black Resistance,  this week’s Upper School Assembly was led by students in D-E’s Black Affinity Group. Students spoke meaningfully on the theme of how Black Resistance is about rising above hardships and actively working against racial inequality with talents and intelligence. The students then transitioned to hosting a panel discussion with special guests who answered questions about their own role models, reflections on how the world has changed particularly in regard to racial inequality, and general advice. Guests involved in the Assembly included D-E History Department Chair Dr. Ari Easley-Houser; Ms. Allison Davis, a former D-E parent and Trustee whose father marched with Dr. King and was the first person appointed to the head of EEOC and who herself was a producer for the Today Show on NBC; and Congressman Harold Ford, Jr., (TN).

The annual Lower School Valentine's Day concerts for our Kindergarten and 1st Graders was a huge crowd pleaser. The concert is a time-honored tradition in the Lower School and for good reason! Faculty, staff, and parents were full of smiles as the students sang songs like “Standing like a Tree” and “1-2-3-4” by the Plain White T’s. It was a love-ly day!
