Mr. Eddie Bailey, Masonry instructor at Dorchester Career and Technology Center, retired just before Winter Break. To celebrate him, staff at DCTC came to school dressed as him, wishing him “joy, relaxation and lots of time metal detecting!” That’s Mr. Bailey in the front, the only one without a homemade ‘metal detector’. Thank you for your service to DCPS! #AllHandsOnDeckDCPS

To say thank you to its community partners, every student at the school colored and cut out a big paper bauble, which were strung together in garlands. Staff have been trying hard to deliver the ‘thank you’ bauble garlands this past week, but as you can see from the list of friends, Hurlock Elementary is blessed to have many! Thank you to:

Santa was able to squeeze in one last visit before schools closed for the Winter Break, and he brought Mrs. Claus too!

Thank you to the Clauses for keeping the children of Dorchester County Public Schools so close in your heart! #AllHandsOnDeckDCPS
