March Highlights and Happenings at The Diener School


Dear Reader,

As spring begins to bloom, we reflect on a March full of meaningful moments that brought us all together. From the joy shared during Grandparents & Special Friends Day to the incredible talent showcased at our Talent Show, it’s been a month filled with laughter, connection, and community spirit.

Looking ahead, we’re excited about our upcoming Auction, which will support the wonderful work happening at Diener.

Thank you for being such an important part of it all!

💚Grandparents and Special Friends Day at Diener💚

On March 14th, we had the pleasure of welcoming our students' special guests to Diener for Grandparents and Special Friends Day! The day was filled with warmth, laughter, and creative energy as our students and their guests participated in music, speech, OT activities, and art projects—creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

These moments of connection and engagement not only brought smiles to everyone’s faces but also helped strengthen the bonds between our students, their families, and our school community. A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful guests who joined us for this special day. Your ongoing support makes such a difference in the lives of our students, and we are so grateful for the positive impact you continue to have on our school.

🌟Diener’s Got Talent: A Showcase of Stars!🌟

Ms. Sammi and Ms. Paris hosted an unforgettable Talent Show, and it truly exceeded all expectations! Our students confidently took the stage, showcasing their incredible talents in front of friends, teachers, faculty, and staff. From singing and dancing to performing magic tricks, playing the piano, and so much more, the range of acts left everyone amazed. It was a spectacular celebration of creativity, skill, and the diverse talents of our students—a true highlight of the year!

We have been busy planning for our Bowling and Bids Auction, a special event that promises to be an evening of fun, community spirit, and incredible opportunities to support our students. Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 15, 2025, as we come together at Pinstripes in North Bethesda for a night filled with excitement and generosity.

This event is not just about raising funds—it's a celebration of our vibrant community and the amazing work we do together to support the students at Diener. We can’t wait to see you there and share this memorable experience with you!

Keep an eye out for our invitation - it should be delivered directly to you soon!

Ticket sales will open on Monday, April 7th and will be available to purchase on our auction website.
