A DSHA Tradition

Held in the first quarter of every school year, Dash-A-Thon begins with students dressed in theme meeting in the gym. Each grade level is assigned a theme within the greater theme of Dash-A-Thon. Senior leaders prepare the student body for their seven-mile walk and for those so inclined to run. It is an exciting morning for the whole school and students earn a much-needed afternoon of rest post-Dash.
