Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter Senior High School Student Council hosted its Annual Lock-In on October 18, 2014. 

The DHS Student Council is an organization that includes students of many different types. They participate in activities that help build self-confidence, school spirit, and a brighter community for the future.

Dexter Senior High School Counselor and Student Council sponsor Jennifer Miller had a night full of fun activities planned for this energetic bunch. They gathered at the high school at 5:30 pm with food and sodas of various sorts, excitedly waiting for the beginning of this festive night. 

After snacking and engaging in conversation, they were split into groups based on the color they were given in the beginning of the week. The students were supposed to deck themselves out in this color from clothing to face paint. After forming these groups, senior and Student Council President Alexis Smith kicked off the event by promoting a flag decorating and creating event for each group.

The groups were told to come up with a mascot and a chant that would be revealed later in the evening. The students played a rotation of games that engaged every member of the group. The students also participated in loads of bond building activities. These activities were plentiful and memorable. The students are eager, even now, for next year's lock in.

Dexter, Missouri - .John Stephens knows how to entertain and education his students.  Once again he hosted his annual Creature Feature at T.S. Hill Middle School in honor of the annual Halloween festivities that are about to fall upon Dexter this Friday evening. 

His feature this year were three old movies - Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Invisible Man.  He showed the students the original black and white versions to give the kids an alternative to the modern horrors on the big screen today.  Last year the students dressed as a spooky character for the day. 

Many of the students are too young to remember black and white tv or have ever even watched a movie in black and white.  What a treat for them!
