On November 11th, we honor Veterans Day, paying tribute to the brave military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. This day, which coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, marks the end of World War I hostilities on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all American veterans. Today, we express our deepest gratitude to those who have selflessly served our nation. šŗšø #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #FlintCommunitySchools

Sometimes health conditions can come apparently out of no where. Sometimes people know about an underlying heart condition that could make them more susceptible to having a cardiac event.

See attached flyer to learn more about sudden cardiac arrest and how you could possibly save a life!

Supt. Jones, "Honoring a DTM Scholar": When scholars take the time to give speeches at a young age and memorize words that inspire and motivate, it should always be commended. We present to you, the future, Mr. Clifford Scruggs from DTM. He gave an awesome speech on Diversity over the past weekend at the 32nd National Multicultural and Diversity Celebration. Clifford, we celebrate you!!
