It’s time for FFA week! Don’t wash your vehicle this weekend — as it just might be eligible for the dirtiest vehicle award on Monday! And bring your money for the Kiss the Pig Contest — collection jars are in the office to cast your vote!
Young Dragons Band in Davenport today.
It’s Freshmen Enrollment Night at DPS! High school is just around the corner for these students…and that means it is time to start earning credits and thinking about post-secondary plans and even college requirements!
The archery numbers for elementary and JH are outstanding! This group has their t-shirts in hand & all 4th - 12th graders should wear them to their upcoming meets (if competing) on March 3rd (in Nelson) and March 19th (in Lincoln). Good luck to our archery students!
Reminder… group archery picture this morning at 8:15 AM for the yearbook. T-shirts will be handed out prior to the picture. This is for grades 4-12. Archery practice starts next week and will be held during PE time. We will get everyone worked in even if they don’t have PE!
The Deshler Lady Dragons finished their season at 12-14 as they fell to BDS in their sub district final game, 18-33. Tonight is your last chance to watch the boys play at home: JH at 5:30, JV at 6:30, and varsity to follow. The boys will play in sub districts at Nelson on Monday.
February 17th was Random Acts of Kindness Day. Deshler students and staff received a candy bar from our FCA chapter with a personalized message about something kind they have done for someone at DPS. We have so much to be thankful for at DPS! Pay it forward! #bekind

The 2nd grade students modeled the importance of a windbreak in science this week! 🌲
Interviews are complete for 7th-12th graders! A big thank you to our volunteers — many who helped all three days. Students now understand what we mean by polishing that resume, giving the firm handshake, smiling & making good eye contact — because they have heard it a lot!
It's a great day to be a Dragon! Deshler alumni Craig (who also happens to be a professional composer) volunteered his time to come in and help our senior Chloe Mosier, who is a also interested in composition! Thank you, Craig, and good luck to you, Chloe!

Haley Webber, president of the Deshler Chamber of Commerce, came in to talk to the Independent Living class last week.
She spoke about how the Chamber tries to help existing Deshler businesses and tries to welcome and help new businesses as well. Chamber sponsored activities such as breakfast with Santa, Easter Egg Hunts, Trunk or Treat, and Deshler Daze were highlighted as potential ways kids could get involved in the community. She spoke about the Chamber's desire to have our youth be involved and about things that our youth have helped with in the past. Thank you for keeping our community strong, Haley!
