One day left to sign your preschool through sixth grader up for Little Dragon Cheer Camp! The camp is open to all PK-6th graders, and forms are due Dec 14th. Questions? Email Mrs. Johnson at amber.johnson@deshlerdragons.org. We look forward to cheering with your Little Dragon!
FFA Butter Braids will be delivered WED, DEC 13TH at 11 AM. Please ensure they are picked up by the end of the school day, or at 6:00 PM following basketball practice. They can be picked up from the wood shop. The school does not have anywhere to store them overnight; and they must stay frozen. Bringing a cooler to sort them into would be great!
Help us out with prizes for our StuCo Fun Day next Tue - local gift cards are best, but Amazon orders are great, too!

DPS added STEM classes for our elementary and junior high students this year, and they have done some great things...from creating their own video games, engineering a phone stand, creating Genius Hour projects, attending InVenture Day, and recently testing out bridge designs.
For the second semester, they want your help with "trash" that they will turn into projects, from: wrapping paper rolls, paper towel rolls, pieces/sheets of cardboard, corrugated cardboard, styrofoam sheets, pieces of bubble wrap, cardboard juice containers (washed & dried please!), various circular lids (from Gatorade bottles, pop bottles, etc. - to be made into wheels), cylinder-shaped containers (think protein powder containers, 28 oz cans), corks, 2 liter pop bottles (washed & dried please!), egg cartons and more.
If you can help, please drop these items off at the school for Mrs. Johnson!
