🌟 THANK YOU, COMMUNITY! 🌟
SDMS and BIS would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support our recent Human Trafficking Awareness Presentation. This important event, hosted by our schools and led by SDHS seniors from the WTHS Criminal Justice Program, brought powerful information and much-needed awareness to a critical issue impacting youth today.
We are deeply grateful for the collaboration and support of the Life Crisis Center, the Worcester County Sheriff's Department, and the Worcester County Child Advocacy Center—your partnership is invaluable.
Together, we are educating, empowering, and protecting our community. 💙






Safety is a community effort! 💙 Use the Safe Schools Maryland Tipline to report anything that doesn’t seem right. Every call helps keep our schools safe!

SDMS is so thankful for our partnership with the Art League of Ocean City 🙂
Check out this video showing the arts immersion in Mrs. Watermans' foreign language classes with French Impressionism. Ms. Guilfoil even treated the class with French baguettes, grapes and music to create an environment as if we were in a cafe in France.
