News from...Dustydise

I would like to say we had a very good week in Dustydise. I am glad 
no one in our community was harmed by Hurricane Dorian. We give prayers
to those in the islands who were harmed badly.  Also, I am glad we were able to 
perform for our grandparents for Grandparents' Day. I think we did very well considering we had little practice due to the bad weather. Be safe and have a great weekend!
