6th Grade artists have been working diligently on optical illusion drawings. Today we added shading with charcoal. It’s a little messy, but we like the 3D effect!
JH Girls Basketball Games Dec 7th & 13th
A Giving Table will be set up for students to "Christmas Shop" the week of Dec. 13-17.
If you have any items you would be willing to donate, please bring to DPS anytime.
Popular items are: Christmas décor, gift box type items, candles, personal care items and books/toys.
Items not taken by students at the end of the week will be donated to Blue Valley or Things N Stuff, so your donations stay in Thayer County.
We will also have a 'wrapping station' available for students to wrap their gifts. If you would like to donate gift bags or tissue paper, these are also greatly appreciated.
A junior high girls' basketball game has been ADDED to the schedule for Tue., Dec. 7th, at 6:30 PM in Deshler against Fillmore Central.
The fourth graders finished up these gorgeous ceramic “leaf bowls” last week in art. Now they’re fresh out of the kiln from a glaze firing, ready to send home with their artists! This isn’t even half of them! They all turned out beautiful! Nice job, 4th graders!
