Happy Nurses Week to our very own, Mrs Haley Smith! Thank you for all you do to keep our DES Kids healthy and happy!
Each day those students who were on time to school, and tried their best on the test, had their names put into our grand prize drawing. These students names were drawn, and they won a tv for working so hard on the State Test! Great job!
