Please join us at the Rome City Auditorium for a celebratory Spring Concert performed by our Band and Orchestra musicians in grades 6-12!

The events will include appearances by the Middle School Jazz Band, Middle School Band, Upper School Band, Combined Symphonic Band, Middle School Orchestra, and Upper School Orchestra. This cumulative event is always a fantastic demonstration of the work our instrumental students do. We invite friends and family to join us at the Rome City Auditorium on the evening of April 27.

On Monday, April 20, the DarFarm Plant Sale will start at 3:30 pm in the greenhouse (by the science building). It will continue from 3:30-5 each school day until we are sold out.
The varieties of plants we have are:
Tomatoes: Supersweet 100, Better Boy, and Cherokee Purple
Peppers: Jalapeno, Banana, Bell
Basil
Due to a late start and some slow initial growth, we are selling plants for reduced prices and most will be $1 per plant.
If you have any questions, please email: Mike Hudson mhudson@darlingtonschool.org
This is a reminder that all students must have an up-to-date physical on file before the first day of school in August.
Atrium Health Floyd will offer FREE physicals on April 30 at 6:00 PM in the Student Center—an easy way to complete this requirement before summer.
The physical form has four pages: two will be completed by the physician that evening, and two must be filled out and signed by a parent/guardian (and the student) beforehand. Please bring the completed forms with you. No appointment is necessary. Form is attached.
We encourage families to take advantage of this convenient, no-cost opportunity to ensure students are ready for the upcoming school year and athletics.
Please email Charly Jones cjones@darlingtonschool.org with questions.

Light the Lake 2026
Light the Lake is a special Darlington tradition that brings our entire community together to honor and support those who have faced or are currently facing cancer. This year’s event will take place on Friday, April 24, from 7:00–10:00 p.m. by the lakeside, and all members of the Darlington community—students of all ages, families, and faculty—are invited to attend.
The evening will include live music, activity tables, and dinner and refreshments, but the heart of Light the Lake is the Walk of Honor, a meaningful moment when we come together to recognize and remember those whose stories have inspired this event.
Light the Lake is held in partnership with Cancer Navigators and Summit Quest, two local organizations that provide support and resources to individuals and families navigating cancer. All proceeds from t-shirt sales will support the work of these organizations.
This year’s t-shirt, designed by senior Megan Pinkley, is available for purchase at the link below. Orders are due by April 15.
If you have any questions, please reach out to senior organizers Zach Kimani or Hayes Parsa.
We hope you will join us for this special evening together.
