Big kids like to have fun too! Some of our students were lucky enough to be able to carve pumpkins this year. Students will vote on the winning pumpkin. They did a great job!
🧫 Science in Action in Mr. Pagawisan's Biology Classes! 🔬✨
Our biology students had an incredible week stepping into the shoes of real microbiologists and bringing cell biology to life with hands-on labs! 🧬👇
🌱 Sophomore Biology: Plant vs. Animal Cell Lab 🧫 Our sophomores put their microscope skills to the test in the Plant vs Animal Cell Lab Activity! After learning about cell structure, they made their own wet-mount slides to examine plant cells from onion peels and prepared leaf slides alongside real human cheek cells! By staining their samples with iodine and methylene blue, they got a front-row view of microscopic organelles across different magnifications and discovered firsthand what makes plant and animal cells so uniquely structured.
🫧 Advanced Biology: Cell Membrane Bubble Lab 🧼 Things got a little messy—and super fun—in Advanced Bio during the Cell-Membrane-Bubble-Lab! Using straw frames dipped in a dish soap and corn syrup mix, students built 3D bubble models to explore the fluid, flexible world of phospholipid bilayers. They popped threads onto bubble films to simulate drifting membrane proteins, blew bubbles inside of bubbles to model membrane-bound organelles, created tiny air tunnels to mimic gap junctions, and even sliced bubbles in half with thread to demonstrate bacterial binary fission! Who knew cell biology could be this hands-on?

Congratulations to Hannah McCormick for placing in the Top 10 at State Cross Country. Congratulations also goes to Aiden Brown for finishing in the Top 20 at State Cross Country. DCHS is proud of your accomplishments this year. Go Big Red!
The Lady Red Devil Volleyball Team will travel to Sidney on Tuesday, Oct. 27th for a Divisional Play In Game. This will only be a varsity game and the winner will move on to the Divisional Tournament. Dig deep ladies. Go Big Red!
DCHS Winter Activities Schedules. As with any activity especially during the winter, these are subject to change.

Upcoming Activities
The DCHS Key Club and NHS are hosting a Vitalant Blood Drive on October 21st from 9 am until 1 pm in the School Board Room.
We hope to make this one of our most successful blood drives yet by filling all 21 donation slots. The Drive is open to students 16+ years old, staff, and the greater Glendive community.
If you are interested in donating, see the sign-up sheet in the office or click the link below to register for an available time slot. Registration is required in advance and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Important: Permission forms for donors under 18 are in a stack in the office and are required.

DCHS Play! “The Lightning Thief” is a story of the Demigod children of the Greek Gods trying to keep their parents from destroying the world. Percy Jackson, a boy who can't seem to stay enrolled in any school for long, is yet again facing expulsion. He finds out some surprising things about his best friend's and his favorite teacher's true identities, meets new friends, and ends up going on an epic quest to try and fix what someone else broke. This show has great music, humor, and fun for the whole family! November 6th, 7th and 8th.
Good Luck to our Lady Red Devils at the State Class A/B Flag Football Championships. They will begin play Wednesday, Oct. 7th. We wish them the best of luck and will be cheering them on in their quest for the championship. Go Big Red!
🧪✨ Biomolecules: Tested & Revealed!
Science got messy (and fun!) in Mr. Pagawisan’s Sophomore Biology Class! Our young scientists rolled up their sleeves for a Biomolecules Testing Lab 🔬💡. Using Benedict’s, Sudan IV, Lugol’s, Biuret solutions, and even the classic brown paper test, they checked everyday items for sugars, proteins, and lipids.
The test subjects? 👀
💧 Water
🥛 Milk
🥤 Zero-sugar soda
🌽 Corn Syrup
🐖An “unknown” solution (spoiler: lard!)
🛢️ And of course, vegetable oil
From color changes to paper stains, the results showed just how much hidden science is in the foods and drinks around us. Students didn’t just learn the theory—they saw biology in action!

DCHS would like to extend a special Thank You to the members of the Fort Peck Tribes, who graciously shared a part of their culture, music, and language with our students and staff.
Schedule for Oct. 5th - Oct. 10th.
