Christmas Wishes Come True
The Grapevine asked our DCPS staff to tell us about the
best Christmas gift they ever received. We are happy to
share their responses here ... and we hope all YOUR
wishes come true during this joyous holiday season.
My most special Christmas gift was when I was 10 years
old. My Dad was in the military, stationed in Germany.
We hadn’t seen him in over a year. Dad told us he wasn’t
going to get to come home, but a miracle happened: Two
days before Christmas, a knock on the door changed that
sad time. It was my Daddy and he was home for a week.
We were so happy. It doesn’t matter what is under the tree
but who is around the tree. God bless our men and women
who are serving, and the families who are waiting at
home for their safe return.

Christmas Wishes Come True
Continued from Page One I remember one Christmas I was about 6 years old and got
a kitchen set from Santa. I loved it. That summer, we left
it outside. It was cardboard and it rained and it was ruined
and I was heartbroken. But Santa, without me even asking
for it, brought me another one the next Christmas – metal
this time – and I was so happy. I love Christmas so much.
It is magical for me even now and gives me such hope.

Merry Christmas, Veterans!
Students from preschool to high school across the DCPS district
responded to our request for Christmas cards to be delivered to
the Western Kentucky Veterans Center in Hanson. We received
hundreds of creative cards with messages of encouragement and
appreciation that are sure to bring a smile to our Veterans during
this holiday season. DCHS choir director Candy Miller
purchased cards with a chip that allowed her students to record
themselves singing, playing instruments or just sharing a spoken
message from the heart. Thank you to ALL of our teachers and
students who participated in this project! James Kincheloe of
Rolling Thunder was overwhelmed by our DCPS contributions!
Thank You,
Community Partners!
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline partnered with the
Foundation for DCPS to build and donate 32 desk to
donate to students in the Daviess County community. This
project was coordinated with our DCPS Family Resource
and Youth Service Center coordinators, who had identified
students who did not have adequate workplaces in which
to participate in virtual learning from their homes.
Laura Whitehouse, Family Resource Center coordinator at
Burns Elementary School, shared one example of how the
desks have made an impact on our students’ success. “One
of our students had strong academics before COVID-19,”
she said. “Like many of our students, he struggled with
the new reality of virtual learning. After conversations Pictured from left at Burns Elementary School are Sarah

Southern Star president and CEO Jimmy Staton said his
team took the project to heart on behalf of the students of
Daviess County. “Many students in our community are
struggling to find a dedicated virtual learning space inside
their homes,” he said. Scott Walston, director of supply
chain services, constructed 32 desks in his garage to assist
local students with remote learning. Several information
technology team members joined forces to paint each
desk. The desks were delivered by the facility services
