Elementary students get very special visit
Children receiving treatment at the Shriner's Burn Hospital in Galveston and the Orthopaedic Hospital in Houston had a little holiday cheer delivered to them recently through the Holiday Card Run. This annual event, which is coordinated by the El Mina Shriners and the Dickinson Independent School District, involves DISD elementary students making homemade holiday cards, which are delivered to the children receiving treatment at the hospital.
Several members of the El Mina Shrine, along with student favorite Santa Claus, made a motorcycle tour through the district this past Friday stopping at each elementary campus to collect the cards from the students, who were all eagerly awaiting their arrival.

McAdams Royal Dance team raises money for ballet training
 The McAdams Royal Dance Team members have set and achieved their goal this year. The girls raised enough money to purchase ballet barres for the Dance Department at McAdams Junior High. Now the students can use the barres to properly train in ballet. The students really enjoy the new equipment and have learned so much from it already.
