DSU is getting back as close as we can to old-school DSU where kids had many options for how to spend their free time 🤩 This year, we've been able to offer students painting, rainbow looming, DSU merch designing, bracelet making, and more! Giving our young people the chance to share their creativity is so special not only for them, but for staff and peers alike!
What free-time projects would your kids like to see more of at DSU? 🎨

Together at DSU, we have been able to share a problem- and project-based learning series with students called the Habits of Mind 🧠
Practicing the Habits of Mind gives us the opportunity to broaden our thinking and build our tool kit to appropriately handle everyday situations. This week's Habit of Mind is PERSISTING, or following through with an action even when it is challenging. Our young people have been brave enough to share difficult moments that they persisted through, and have even acknowledged and praised their peers for persisting during school or DSU programming.
Stay tuned for an #overheardatdsu to hear more about what our students have shared through the persistence unit ⭐️

Gonna need a one handed catch after this trick shot! If players can catch the Nuke'em ball with one hand, they can bring a teammate back in... even though it's pretty cute to hear friends cheer for their team on the sidelines while they're out 🥰

18 Duxbury teens completed the inaugural Holocaust Symposium with the @lappinfoundation last night. 18 is a lucky number in Jewish tradition because it symbolizes “chai”, the Hebrew word for life. Indeed these students were the recipients of the gift of life, surrounded by friends, family, school administrators, state legislators, the select board, community members and guest speaker, Josh Kraft of @togetherbeathate
We are hiring for the school year. If you love youth development, education or recreation, wow us with your cover letter & resume. DM for more details or check us out on Indeed.
@lappinfoundation went above and beyond to provide a fully immersive learning experience of the Holocaust, including a day trip to the National Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. What we do and say matters.
Vaccines are the gateway to Summer, Fall and Winter milestones and memories. It’s the accessory you need to live your best life. Tell us, what motivated you to get vaccinated?
