Big cheers to our 6th grader who earned 3rd place and our 7th grader who took 1st place! Your curiosity and dedication inspire us all.
Third graders brought magic to life in the art studio, designing Welcoming Woodland Worlds for fairies and elves complete with tiny homes, lush gardens, and playful details. Through this creative project, they explored empathy and compassion, and joy as the heart of a welcoming space.
Last week, our Upper School Spanish and French students are savoring a little la dolce vita with a courtyard picnic under the spring sky! With picnic blankets spread and culture in the air, students were practicing phrases, sharing laughs, and enjoying delicious treats. A huge thank you Senora Ocasio for the flan and Madame Jacobsen for the éclairs!
Our Spring Recital on Sunday was a wonderful celebration of more than 40 students sharing their talents through singing and instrumental performances for an audience of family and friends. It beautifully reflected their commitment, growth, and dedication to their musical journeys.
Reading is Sweet was an absolute success! Our bookfair was filled with happy readers discovering new favorites, families shopping together, and so much joy around every corner. Huge thanks to all the parents who helped make it special, your support means the world. This is just one of the many ways our community comes together with heart, purpose, and joy.
We were so glad to welcome back Whit Ryan, founder of Clearview Life Coaching and a trusted voice in social-emotional learning and parent coaching.

Whit joined us offering timely wisdom on raising resilient, grounded kids. We’re grateful for her insight and the clarity she brings to this pivotal stage. #clearview.lifecoaching #whitryan
Books are coming to life at DDS today! Students and faculty showed up in full spirit for Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character day. The energy is magical, and the love of reading is on full display. All this bookish fun leads into our Reading is Sweet Book Fair—happening tomorrow and Wednesday! Don’t miss the chance to grab great reads and keep the story going.
A big thank you to the talented musicians from Millbrook School for sharing their gifts with our Upper School last week! Their performances were full of heart, skill, and beautiful energy, and we loved seeing familiar faces of our alumni performing with pride. We’re so grateful for the inspiration and joy they brought to our day. #MillbrookSchool
