Popcorn with the Principal turned into "Popsicles at the Park" with this beautiful weather! Congratulations to these elementary kids for doing all the right things in our character lessons!

A huge thank you to all the families who came out for our Book Fair and Title 1 Scavenger Hunt! Seeing the kids (and parents!) so excited about reading is exactly why we love doing this.

We want to send a big thank you to Dawn Buckles for her incredible hard work in organizing the Book Fair. This event wouldn't have been possible without her dedication to our school community!

The 7th graders attended the Youth Health Fair put on by Thayer County Health Services. They learned about mental health and how it is affected by social media, stress, sports injuries and much more.

It's finally Book Fair time AND next year's 9th/12th Grade Orientation! The book fair is open to the public from 5 - 7 PM in the elementary library. The 9th grade orientation starts at 5:30 PM in the high school library and 12th grade orientation starts at 6:30 PM. See you soon!

Join NHS tomorrow night as we watch Hop! Bring $5 and whatever you want to be comfy -- pillows, blankets, chairs. Doors open at 5:20.

DPS had a lot of high school students in attendance for the Action's Day competition at Central Community College, yesterday. We are excited to announce that we had a few students bring home some trophies! Johnathan Zucker received 3rd in Algebra 1, Jackson Beam received 4th in Civil War, Brayden Gausman received 1st in Civil War, Logan Lowery received 5th in Psychology and Makenna Freitag receievd a 1st place in all her tests of Agriculture, English 1 and Poetry!

Mrs. Anderson's kindergarten class has been learning all about shapes! Today, they built different flat and solid shapes using straws and pipe cleaners. The students were especially proud of their cubes!

Only 2 more days left to shop the Scholastic Book Fair in the Elementary Library. Shop today from 3:35-5:30 and tomorrow night from 5:00-7:00pm. There are still lots of great books and fun items to purchase. All sales benefit our school.

LAST DAY to sign up for this fun fundraiser and support the VB/GBB programs! Entries will be accepted until 5 PM TONIGHT.

We don't need your entry fee right away, so don't let that hold you up on participating.

Congratulations to the Dragon Speech Team for their outstanding performances at the District Speech Meet in McCool Junction today! We had five District medalists: Makenna (2nd in Informative), Arsene (5th in Informative), Logan (5th in Humorous), Danica (3rd in Poetry), and Ella (4th in Poetry). Makenna and Danica will go on to represent the Dragons at the State Speech Meet in Kearney next Saturday! Congratulations to the entire team on an amazing regular season! What a great way to end it!

We have an incredible partnership between Deshler Public Schools and Reinke Manufacturing!

Through opportunities like welding classes, hands-on training, and real-world work experience, our students are gaining valuable skills that prepare them for success beyond high school. Reinke has a long-standing commitment to investing in local students—providing industry-level training, mentorship, and career pathways.

Senior Gracie Erickson is a great example of what that partnership can do—combining classroom learning, FFA involvement, and real-world application to build a strong future in agriculture and manufacturing.

Good luck to Gracie as she showcases her skills at State FFA next week in multiple contests. She will interview as she is a finalist for the Nebraska FFA State Star in Placement!

We are grateful for partners like Reinke who help make these opportunities possible and for students who take full advantage of them.
