UPDATED: DHS Students Facing Midterms Following Long Weekend

Welcome to "About Town," a column that will keep you up to the minute with what's what, who's who and what the town's talking about. Check in often, because we will be updating often. And if you see or hear something we could use here, let us know.

Students are dreading the fact that after a nice long weekend they have to return to school and face midterms. A couple students said the break was awesome, but are upset that they must now worry about the giant tests.

Jazmin Allen and Brittany Albis, two students, made sure to get some studying in yesterday even though they both didn’t really want to. 

Hopefully all the students spent a little of their time on studying as well.

Brrr, It’s Cold

Cold temperatures these past couple days have had people staying close to home and not going out as much as they would normally.

Vincent Castle, a Dedham resident, said, “I usually go for a walk every day, but because of how cold it is I can’t.”

Remember to stay warm out there, keep at least a half-a-tank of gas in your vehicle so that it is easier to start, warm your cars before driving them, watch out for ice, and clean your hands from germs to prevent getting sick.
