Attention DPS Families! Today is National Custodian Day! Their hard work often happens behind the scenes, but it does not go unnoticed. Whether it's keeping our school buildings clean and safe, to touch up paint jobs, tearing down/cleaning up after sporting events, or just lending a helping hand, they help create a place where everyone can feel comfortable, welcome, and ready to teach or learn. Not all of our custodians are pictured, but this day goes out to all of them.
Students had fun creating their own Great Wall of China, writing their names in calligraphy and Chinese characters, and even trying their hand at using chopsticks! They also made their own snack mix, just like the Cat Bandit from their Amplify reader, using chopsticks to mix and enjoy their creations!

These students were celebrated for their positive choices, effort, kindness, responsibility, perseverance, and all the ways they contributed to making our school community a better place. We are so proud of the way they are showing up, giving their best, and being the kind of classmates and school community members we can count on!
A special congratulations to the students who were honored today! Your ability to pause, breathe, regulate, and make positive choices is something to celebrate!

It was a SEA of green and blue today! Our 2nd graders rocked the green, while our 3rd graders brought the blue! The school spirit was shining bright from head to toe!
And of course, Mrs. Full and Mrs. Thorpe represented BOTH grade levels with the perfect mix of green AND blue!
We kicked off the fun with Pajama Day and followed it up with Crazy Hair Day! From cozy pajamas to creative hairstyles, our students and staff brought their school spirit! So many smiles all around as we celebrated these first two days!
