Today, we celebrated students nominated by their teachers for being kind all year long! Students had donuts, received medals and certificates, and visited with Mrs. Full and Mrs. Thorpe. Way to go, Jefferson students!
With Dixon pride, they lead the way, doing what's right every single day. They think ahead, they think anew, finding the best for students too! Supportive, kind, a teammate true, flexible, strong in all they do. With open hearts and minds that shine - the Spirit of DPS 170, by design! Way to go, Mr. Wendt!
Today, we honored School Lunch Hero Day by presenting the AMAZING women in our cafeteria with our Spirit Stick. Their certificates read: "We want to to share our spirit stick with the incredible women who keep our cafeteria running with such care and heart. Your smiles brighten our students’ days, your kindness makes everyone feel welcome, and your hard work never goes unnoticed. Thank you for greeting each child with warmth, for being so helpful and friendly, and for the important role you play in keeping our students healthy and ready to learn. You do so much more than serve meals... you create a positive, caring space where our kids feel valued every single day. We appreciate you more than words can say. Thank you for all that you do!" We are grateful for you today and always!

This past week, Mrs. Full, Mrs. Thorpe, and Mrs. Krager visited classrooms to lead lessons on neurodiversity and how it makes our world unique and special!
Students enjoyed a shared reading, learned about the anatomy of the brain, and explored important vocabulary to help them better understand and talk about neurodiversity. They also had the opportunity to decorate their own “brain,” reflect on what makes them unique, and discuss the ways they learn best.
We are proud of our students for embracing what makes each of us different and celebrating the strengths that make our school community so special!
