Congratulations to Mrs. Fritzinger and the DJHS

4-H Club! Their Haymagination display for the

Beauregard Parish Fair won FIRST PRIZE!

Way to represent DJH, 4-H Club!

Join us for The Great Turkey Hunt!

There are 15 turkeys hidden (in plain sight) around the

DJHS Campus. The turkey will be

marked DJHS Great Turkey Hunt.

They will NOT be hidden in bathrooms

or areas that are restricted to

students, so don’t try to look there!!!

If you find a turkey, bring it to the

library for a small prize.

Happy Hunting!

ager

Fave class @DJH: Ms. Howell’s class because I like helping

her.

Fave TV Show: Riverdale

Most important lesson I’ve

learned during junior high:

I’ve learned that you need to

show people that they matter,

and it will make a change in

their lives!

Hobbies: spending time with my friends and family, cooking, singing, traveling, and going to church. Favorite thing about teaching at DJHS: We have the best culture and family-oriented values at DJHS. Our administration, faculty, staff and students make DJHS the BEST place to be! I love teaching because it gives me an opportunity to empower others and give hope. I teach for the light bulb moments, the moments of inspiration, encouragement, and breakthroughs.

What color best describes you and why? Turquoise - I'm happy, bright, caring, and like to have fun!

Favorite Food: Pizza, Pickles, and chips and salsa What animal would you say is your spirit animal and why? Honeybee—I’m sweet, work hard, and will defend myself and my hive when necessary
