While he was here he shared with the students about his time in the armed services and took time to answer questions.

Grandparents Day at Dorsey

This year we had nearly 300 grandparents join us at school as we honored our grandparents. They came from near and far to join in the fun. We had grandparents from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Minnesota and Bolivia! Two grandmothers had three grandchildren at Dorsey! Also, two grandparents have not missed a grandparents day since Dorsey opened 12 years ago. We hope that all of our grandparents felt honored and special.

Dorsey Students learn from our Veterans to celebrate Veteran's Day.
