Decatur Nation! If you enjoy eating your lunch in the media center, be advised that some changes are coming to the sign-up process (Roll Library Lunch PSA 0:50). Again, beginning next semester, students MUST sign up for lunch in the media center the week prior. If you do not sign up, you will need to eat in the cafeteria. Please see Mrs. Tignor with any questions.

SDHS would like to thank Rina Dirickson and Max Stein for going above and beyond after the crowded basketball game last Thursday night. Unfortunately, there was A LOT of trash left in the stands after the game last. Rina and Max stayed after the game to help pick up the trash so it wouldn’t be so overwhelming for Mr. Otis. Thank you so much Rina and Max!!!! And, SDHS students….please, please show your Decatur spirit and help us out by throwing away your trash and not leaving it in the bleachers!!!

Technology is common these days, and while all students have grown up in a technologically driven society, devices and tech continue to change. DNN’s Chris Munn and Maddy Kolasa took a deeper look into these technological changes at Decatur. (Roll New Technology News Package 2:30) Be sure to take advantage of the new and old technology Decatur has to offer.
