DHS teacher Chris Billingsley writes in (with pics!)…

More than twenty five DHS students from the 9th grade and the Close Up Club participated in the City of Decatur MLK service day. I was a little concerned that only four students had arrived by 8:20 but we had a full team by 8:45. Close Up parents Stan and Laura Metz not only acted as chaperons but worked as hard as the students. We worked for Ms. A.J. on Olympia Place. The students worked very hard from 9:30 to 12:30. We were able to clean the entire property- front, both sides, and back yard. I think the students made a difference in the life of Ms. A.J.
