Each year, students in fifth through eighth grades at Emerson J. Dillon Middle School participate in a variety of activities promoting teamwork, friendship, character education and school spirit.

Principal Sue Anderson kicked off the 2017-18 celebration by lighting the Firebird torch and welcoming the students to a day of team-building exercises and challenges.

Throughout the school year, grade-level teams that embody the Dillon Way will earn points that accumulate with each recognition of exemplary behavior.

The team with the most points at the end of the year will be honored with a celebration in the spring.
