Driver had to say goodbye to an awesome role model today. We are very sad that Mr. Jordan Winkle is leaving us, but we want to wish him best of luck in his new role as the principal at Willard Elementary.
All of the students and staff at DMS will miss you greatly! Best wishes for a smooth transition.
