Flannel Day today and several staff members are already knocking out a bingo!
Congrats to the GBB team on a close win last night & the boys played Exeter Milligan very close as well. HS wrestling begins their season at Meridian tonight. JH/HS concert on Sunday at 7 pm.
Today is the LAST DAY of JH wrestling practice (no practice on Fri as planned). Their last meet is on Monday in Fairbury at 5 PM. If you haven't had a chance to see them wrestle, try to make the meet. They have done an outstanding job this season! Good luck, Dragon wrestlers!
Congratulations to the One Act cast and crew: District Runner-Up and Outstanding Technical Crew!
Additionally, outstanding performance awards went to these individuals: Chloe Mosier, Gracie Miller, Brooklyn Blau, Gracie Hinz, Brenna Dubbert, and Aidan Collins.
FCA attended the Todd Becker Foundation tour last night in Belleville, KS, and listened to an outstanding message from Keith Becker and some great music. Thank you to all who attended!

6th Grade artists have been working diligently on optical illusion drawings. Today we added shading with charcoal. It’s a little messy, but we like the 3D effect!
JH Girls Basketball Games Dec 7th & 13th
A Giving Table will be set up for students to "Christmas Shop" the week of Dec. 13-17.
If you have any items you would be willing to donate, please bring to DPS anytime.
Popular items are: Christmas décor, gift box type items, candles, personal care items and books/toys.
Items not taken by students at the end of the week will be donated to Blue Valley or Things N Stuff, so your donations stay in Thayer County.
We will also have a 'wrapping station' available for students to wrap their gifts. If you would like to donate gift bags or tissue paper, these are also greatly appreciated.
A junior high girls' basketball game has been ADDED to the schedule for Tue., Dec. 7th, at 6:30 PM in Deshler against Fillmore Central.
The fourth graders finished up these gorgeous ceramic “leaf bowls” last week in art. Now they’re fresh out of the kiln from a glaze firing, ready to send home with their artists! This isn’t even half of them! They all turned out beautiful! Nice job, 4th graders!
