The JH wrestling meet will begin at 4:30 PM today in Fairbury, not 10 AM as previously noted on our calendar.
Last week, Johnny Hinz finished first and Rigley McDonald finished second, in the opening meet of the season at SC. These boys and their teammates from Superior will be wrestling again on Thursday in Superior at 4 PM.
Get out and support them if you can!
As we work to build our "DPS prize stash" for students recognized for exemplary behavior, we wanted to reach out to the public to see if you would be interested in helping us out at:

We packed in a lot tonight...from the parent/community meeting to math night to night of the arts (the one act, show choir and artwork)...it was a busy day and night at DPS! We hope to see all of you tomorrow morning at 10 AM for our Veterans Day Program! Thank you, veterans!
BIG PIG HAS MOVED...to the FB field (no longer at the city park), but they are set up & ready for business!
Today is the day...let's welcome BIG PIG FOOD TRUCK into town! You can pre-order for lunch or pick up a pound of meat to have later! They are serving from 11 AM to 7 PM in the Deshler City Park. Please note when pre-ordering if you want PULLED PORK or PULLED CHICKEN, and you will be taken to the options from there. The form to pre-order is saved as: bit.ly/BIGPIGNOV9.
Following this, we have our Family Math Night at 5:30 PM, followed by our Night of the Fine Arts at 7 PM. Expect to see the one act perform, followed by the show choir singing and a display of our students' artwork.

The Veterans Day program WILL be streamed at https://www.youtube.com/@DPSDRAGONS. Night of the Fine Arts will NOT be streamed (as the one act is on the stage & the Hudl camera does not pick this up).
Today started with all business -- as our juniors attended the College Fair at the fairgrounds -- and ended with some fun as the staff made caramel apples after the inservice!
It's National STEM day, and the 7th graders have had a busy and fun-filled quarter so far! From creating our own video games, engineering a phone stand, exploring our interests and working on our Genius Hour projects, these kids have definitely let their ingenuity and creativity shine!
