Deshler JH boys will not be participating in today's JH BBB tournament in Nelson due to icy road conditions.
DPS Kindergarteners are teaming up with the 4th graders to earn some AR points and work towards their goals! The 4th graders read to the Kindergarteners and then helped them take their AR tests. When they were done, the Kindergarteners showed off their reading talents by reading to the 4th graders!
Advanced Algebra and Geometry students were challenged with sequence and pattern puzzles today in class as we discussed Mathematics around the world. Students used numbers, colors, and shapes to determine the solutions to the different puzzles.
Thanks to TeamMates, the READ grant, and Linked 2 Literacy for a book vending machine at Deshler Public Schools!
PARENTS watch for information about how your child can win a token to receive a free book!
Reading can reduce stress, increase self-esteem, improve cognitive function, and so much more! Join us in encouraging our student body to READ!!
Pictured are TeamMate mentee Olivia and her mentor Susan who are benefiting from the READ grant funds. (cutting the ribbon to make it official!)
We're excited to celebrate National FFA Week February 16-22! 6-12th graders are invited to participate in all the activities that Deshler FFA has planned.

The DPS 4th graders had a little fun with a science/math experiment designed to determine how fast their brains react to something that they hear or see. They determined that their reactions can depend on a lot of things-environment, sounds, being overtired, ect.
These are our Character Kids for the month of January and for the word Perseverance! Congratulations to Serenity, Elle, Kaleb, Teddy, Riley, and Peighton on persevering and never giving up even when things were hard or challenging! February's word is honesty!
