Journalism: Why it is the BEST elective

Although there is definitely going to be some hate towards this post, Journalism is the BEST elective. You cannot change my mind. Journalism is amazing because you get to start your own blog and do fun activities to share with the world. (If you somehow get your site link out there) And if writing and prompt activities aren’t your thing, there is also a photography unit where you have a photography prompt, and you can go outside and take photos with (usually) a group of your choice. During the photography unit, we learn how to use the cameras and sometimes mess around a bit, resulting in some fun and silly photos. We also complete a podcast unit, which is really fun. The class gets to record alone or with a friend on a topic they want to talk about and we will complete about a 5 episode series and each episode is about 5-10 minutes long. Mrs. Steel is also one of the reasons this elective is so great. She is a very chill teacher and has fun lesson activities, while managing a class of mixed 7th and 8th graders. Journalism is the best!

(Voice of The Vikings Article) Students Prepare: DPMS Dance Concert 2021

In previous years, DPMS has had a dance concert provided by the school’s dance team. Dance members have provided us information for this year’s concert, and Mrs Wilson and the dance team have confirmed that they are having a dance concert in December for the winter dance concert this year! Details to follow from dance team members Katie O’Neal and Anna Yergensen.

“The winter concert is on December 14 at 7pm.” Says Anna Yergensen, an excellent dance team member, after being asked when the concert is. Will there be a concert this year, and if so in what form?: “Yes. Probably as an assembly. Last year they filmed it.” Says Katie O’Neal, another talented dancer. What is the theme of the concert?: “The nutcracker.” Katie informs us. Given the information, dance team members seem very excited about the concert provided this year.

A classic Christmas tradition follows the dance team’s concert, the nutcracker. The entire dance team will be doing the performance, making it the ultimate winter dance. All readers make sure to come to the nutcracker themed dance concert on December 14, 7 pm to support this year’s amazing dancers!
