Today Rising Stars had a guest reader! Julie Deepe from Midwest Bank came and read "The Lost Package" by Richard Ho. She also gave everyone a candy cane! We really enjoyed her visit! Thank you, Julie!
An early out at DPS didn’t mean the learning stopped…The staff picked up where the students left off at 2 pm and welcomed a presentation on interactive TVs (here until next Friday) and the ESU #5 Glowforge machine that is here until February.
3rd grade has spent the week learning different strategies to multiply 2x1 digit numbers. Desk problems are the best practice!
Congratulations to this hard working bunch of student athletes who met the requirements for an off season letter by showing up to the weight room this summer and working hard! Progress happens in the off season — great work, Dragons!
From DPS: Reminder- 2:00 Out on Wed. Dec. 8th

Today’s dress up day was pajama day for the 12 Days of Christmas. Those that are best dressed will win awards on the last day of school… The same day as the first annual Ramen noodle cook off for seniors!
