🎉 Congratulations to Our Ravens Abroad Raffle Winner! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce that McKell is the winner of our Ravens Abroad Raffle!

McKell has won a $1000 travel voucher to put toward the upcoming Italy & Germany trip in the summer of 2027.

A huge thank you to everyone who showed interest in our Ravens Abroad program and participated in the raffle. We are so excited to see the enthusiasm from our school community about traveling and learning beyond the classroom. Experiences like these not only bring history and culture to life, but also create memories that will last a lifetime.

If you’re interested in joining us on this unforgettable adventure, or if you’d just like to learn more about the trip, please reach out to Ms. Bourne for details (kathryn_bourne@dpsk12.net). Spots are limited, and we’d love to see more Ravens take flight abroad!
