Cafe Book
Summer reading has taken on a new meaning! The reading department at DCHS has revamped summer reading into a NEW points based system. The entire process of the NEW summer reading program will be introduced at Cafe BOOK, which will be held on April 7th in the gym lobby from 6 - 8:15pm.
During Cafe BOOK there will be a kid's reading corner, poetry readings, a story teller, a book fair, coffee and teas, and of course the introduction of the NEW points based summer reading program.
In preparation for Cafe BOOK DCHS is holding a book drive until April 3rd. We ask that you donate any books, DVDs, and/or CDs. The proceeds of the book fair and book drive will fund the prizes given to the students that earn the most points in the NEW summer reading program.
Cafe BOOK is going to be a wonderful family event, please bring all members of your families and enjoy! There will be something there for everyone.

Spiritual Renewal Recap
As many of you know, last week we took some time out of our busy academic schedule and focused on our spiritual lives. DCHS does this every March which really allows the students to get serious about their faith and to seek what God has for their lives.
This year the Spiritual Emphasis team decided to bring in a group called AXIS. They are part of the Focus on the Family organization and came all the way from Colorado. The AXIS group presented a very intense message. They gave an overview of the three biggest worldviews in the world which are, spiritualism, naturalism, and deism. They taught us what these worldviews believe and what religions they include. The way AXIS presented this information was intriguing and thought provoking. They showed clips of movies, you tube videos, and sound clips from today's most popular songs. After showing the clip AXIS explained how today's media is presenting a message that tears us down, manipulates our standard of right and wrong, and poisons our minds with ungodly thoughts. This convicted a lot of students. We were embarrassed that we knew almost every word to these songs but couldn't quote scriptures to back up our faith.
AXIS challenged us to ask questions and to develop a strong Christian worldview while we are in high school so that we do not fall into the trap the world has set for us. It has been found that only 20% of Christian teens remain spiritual Christians in their twenties.
DCHS students really took this seriously and are ready to follow God's plan not their own.
MARCHFEST 6pm to 9pm
March Fest is Friday. This an SLC hosted event and is absolutely free. There will be pizza and soda. Video games, such as wii and guitar hero will be set up in the lobby and games will be happening inside the gym. 7th & 8th grade students from local Christian schools and home school groups have been invited as well. This is going to be a really fun event, I hope you can make it!
Thanks
