NEWS ROUND-UP: Blood Drive At DPS Tomorrow, Jan. 8


Here's the latest from the village and surrounding area:

Blood Drive This Monday At School:  Donating blood is one of the most selfless acts.  When you donate blood, there's no telling who you'll be helping. Maybe a mother, a father, a son or daughter. A baby. Maybe a person involved in a car accident. Perhaps one of your own loved ones or friends. Thanks to the Dorchester FBLA and Dorchester volunteer firefighters, there will be a blood drive at the Dorchester School this Monday (tomorrow, January 8) from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.  Those interested in donating blood can e-mail klewis@dorchesterschool.org, or call the school (402-946-2781), or you can just walk in from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. by checking in at the front office.

'Pack the Gym' This Tuesday for DHS Vs. Friend Basketball:  This Tuesday, January 9, the Dorchester Longhorns boys' and girls' basketball teams will host next-door rival Friend High School.  DHS is promoting that evening as "Pack the Gym" night.  The varsity girls will play at 6:00 p.m., while the varsity boys will start at 7:30 p.m.  All community residents are encouraged to show up, wear your orange and black, and pack the gym.


Dorchester Public Schools Honored For Saluting Veterans: Local schools recently received certificates from Nebraska Secretary of State John Gale for their participation in programs honoring military veterans in November.  Dorchester Public School was among 160 schools and districts across the state recognized for their efforts. “It really is heartwarming to see the efforts that teachers, staff and students put into these events,” Gale said, adding that he often hears from teachers about the appreciation and emotion expressed through these programs.  “They are very much about acknowledging the sacrifices of those who have served our nation, especially in combat,” Gale said.  See the secretary of state's full honor roll by clicking here.
