November...a month with "no" school

November is an interesting month here at DCA. During the first full week is always teachers' convention so there are no classes and most of the students leave for the long weekend. The following week is Leadership Conference where all of the seniors go to camp and the rest of the students stay in class. The week after that is Thanksgiving--all of the dorm students have to find a place to stay (it gives our dorm supervisors a chance to relax a little). Then when we come back things get in full swing for Christmas and before you know it, we're at our two week Christmas vacation! Time certainly flies by up here!
