What's New at School?

DAYTON–High School (DHS) students were getting excited about the one-hundred-year anniversary of their school last week and the upcoming Prom.

Present day DHS students participated in activities to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Pietrzycki High School throughout the day Thursday, April 19. Some of the activities the Senior High and Middle school students participated in were a scavenger hunt, cake, and fun games in the gym with the Walla Walla DJ. They ended the day with some line dancing.

After school, the building was open to the public with many activities for families to participate in like the play put on by the Middle School Drama class. It was overall an exciting day and enjoyable for the community. The elementary students joined in with some fun outside games of their own.
