Upcoming Events at DMS!
Students at De Queen Middle School are participating in a Hygiene Drive for one of our local charities. Community members who regularly visit the local food pantry are not only in need of food items but from time to time are also in need of personal hygiene items for their family members. The purpose of the drive is to be able to help the local charity stock their shelves with the needed items so that they can help local members when the need arises. The 6th and 7th-grade students are competing against each other to earn extra time during their lunch break. The students will continue to collect items until Thursday, November 16th.
Items that are needed are...
toothpaste & toothbrushes
shampoo & conditioner
bars of soap
body lotion
hairbrushes & combs
stick deodorant
shave gel/cream & disposable razors (please keep in sealed package)
laundry soap
diapers
Baby shampoo & lotion
