Good Luck to these 5 DES Super Spellers as they compete in the Arkansas County Spelling Bee tonight!
For the last 31 years Anthony and Jackie Johnson, owners of Lauren's Garden in DeWitt, along with their family and employees, have been quietly providing balloon and candy bags on Valentine’s Day. These gifts are for children at DES who may not otherwise receive a Valentine's Day delivery. This year alone, they provided over 200 balloons and candy bags! We wholeheartedly thank them for this wonderful gift of service and love to our school community.
Reminder: There will be NO running club today after school. We will resume next week.
During Kindness Week, we want to wish a very happy (slightly belated) Counselors Week to our very own Kindness Queen! DES is blessed to have Mrs. Alesha Jones as our counselor ❤️. Thank you, Mrs. Alesha, for all you do for the students and staff at DES.
