Dickens in Dundee Living Window

Friday, December 6 - Set up 3-5pm / Event 6-8pm / Clean up 8-9pm

Each year, Dundee Highlands participates in Dickens in Dundee, West Dundee’s annual holiday season kick-off event, by hosting a “Living Window” in a downtown storefront. During this event, students take turns pretending to celebrate holiday traditions for a crowd of festive onlookers from the Dundee area community.

STUDENTS interested in joining the fun are invited to SIGN UP HERE! Please sign up by Friday, November 22 (the Friday before Thanksgiving). Each student will be assigned a 15-minute timeframe to spread holiday cheer alongside their fellow Highlanders. Participants will be asked to wear either their best/most favorite holiday attire, or some comfy winter/holiday themed pajamas.

To help with our theme of “Highlander Holiday Traditions”, please let us know about the holidays or traditions celebrated by your family! These could be as simply or elaborately described as you see fit. Highlander family traditions will be shared as part of a slide show during the event.

ADULT HELPERS are needed to help decorate in the afternoon on December 6, help supervise students during the event and clean up when the event ends. If you are able to assist, please SIGN UP HERE.

UPDATE: Thank you to all of the families that have participated in this opportunity! We have raised over $8,000 so far for our staff to use in school supplies! It does not stop here, continue to use your codes while you shop this holiday season in order to boost our funds!

The 70's are here! Totally groovy!

There are so many generations of families in our community and we know that there must be some great artifacts sitting in your attics or basement. So, if you have any fun Dundee Highlands memorabilia from the 70's, 80's, 90's, and today (This is W-ROCK DHES 99.9), please bring it in to our main office at your earliest convenience! Feel free to spread the news to neighbors and other community members that may have some items to share.

If you wish to volunteer, it is a yearly requirement to complete our volunteer registration process. Click the Volunteer link at the bottom of the page to get ahead of the game this year!
