BOO FEST CANDY

PTO is now accepting candy donations for Boo Fest. The candy bin is located just outside the office. You may send donations in with your student or drop them off at the office! Thank you to our parents and students for their continual support of our school activities!

Join us at the high school on Monday, October 27th, from 5:30 to 7 PM for a spook-tacular Monster Mash. This Halloween activity night is hosted by Chieftain Heart; our Chieftain goal is to spread spirit within our schools and our community. This fang-tastic event is perfect for our little ghouls and goblins in elementary and middle school. Get ready for a night filled with hauntingly good music, thrilling games, and treats galore at various stations. Crafty creatures can create their own treat bags at the craft table, and if the weather is frightfully fine, we’ll play outside! Remember, all young witches and wizards must be accompanied by a parent or an older sibling. Costumes are encouraged, so come dressed to dazzle and delight!

Happy Birthday to these SWEET October birthdays!

We are so thankful for Mrs. Hohl, who goes above and beyond not only for our students but for staff across the district. She supports students with both academics and behaviors, always willing to lend a hand, share ideas, and assist wherever help is needed. Her teamwork, expertise, and dedication truly make a difference for all of our schools!

On November 4, 2025, voters in Dowagiac Union Schools will consider a Sinking Fund Millage Proposal of 0.5 mill.
