Tomorrow, Wednesday April 23rd, is the last day to turn in DES Field Day Shirt Orders. We have extra forms in the office if your students form that was sent home has been misplaced.
Field Day has been rescheduled to Friday May 9th, 2025. Information about volunteering will come home soon!
Field Day & Field Day T-Shirts
Order forms for Field Day T-Shirts went home LAST week with DES Students. Orders were originally due by the end of this week, but we are extending the deadline to Wednesday April 23, 2025.
Field Day is being moved from Friday May 2nd to Friday May 9th. We will be sending volunteer forms home at the beginning of next week.
If your Field Day T-shirt order form has gone missing, you may pick up a new one in the DES office.
A BIG thank you to 1st Graders Aubrey Cate B. and Madison W., as well as Mrs Lindsay Beaton (DES PE) and parent volunteer Heather Wade for pruning and cleaning up our front Pollinator Flower Beds! They are looking beautiful and ready for hosting butterflies, bees and hummingbirds all spring and summer!
Mrs. Stephanie’s homeroom class got to eat their lunch with Mrs. Mandy in the classroom for showing the most growth on their STAR Reading assessment for 4th 9 weeks.
Mrs. Sammie’s STEM Classes are learning about plants and how they grow. 2nd graders are propagating flowers for the DES pollinator patio and flyway flower garden.
Happy Paraprofessional Day!
