Mrs. Kroeger's Intro to AFNR class has been studying soil. Today they made dirt dessert with different items representing the soil horizons! Enjoy some fun soil facts! ⭐️1 tsp. of healthy soil contains more living organisms in it than there are people on Earth! ⭐️ Soil takes hundreds of thousands of years to form. These students' soil seemed to have rapid erosion-it disappeared quickly!

Everyone has projects on their To-Do List that they just haven't had time to get done. We have the solution-Make plans to attend the Deshler FFA Labor Auction on December 30. Come support the Dragons basketball teams and help get those items crossed off your list!

We have lots of elementary kids wanting to play in the snow at recess, BUT not all students are bringing hats, coats, gloves, and snowgear...please send those along if you want your child to play in the snow at recess!

Need a coat/gloves/hat to keep? We have extras through generous donations!

Elementary kids that go above and beyond following our expectations earn "Popcorn with the Principal" -- congrats to these students for showing us what being a Dragon is all about! 💛💜

Parents of High School Students! You have 24 hours left of Thanksgiving Break, plenty of time to discuss some important things related to their future…. If you have a SENIOR, maybe discuss what their spring schedule looks like. Do the classes align with what they want to do after graduation? Have they finished their scholarship applications?! Some are due on Monday! If you have a SOPHOMORE OR JUNIOR, probably time to talk about what they will take in the spring AND next year. Are they taking Dual enrollments classes? (Please remember these are college-level classes. Meaning they can be challenging and require a lot of time to complete.) Does their schedule give them time to get involved and volunteer? And, also, better make a list of colleges you want to start visiting this spring! If you have a FRESHMAN, it’s a good time to check grades and see how high school classes are going for them. Are they getting involved? It's never too early to start having a conversation about options after graduation.

FCA shirts are for sale to the public, as well as our FCA members! The cost is $30 because we have a smaller order AND a gradient print. Please make checks out to DESHLER FCA and turn in by 12/15/25. Thank you!

STUDENTS LISTED HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THEIR SHIRTS! Anyone can order - this is open to the public!

It's Meet Day! 💪 Junior high wrestling is on the road at Fillmore Central today at 4:30 PM. Good luck, Dragons!
