Friday brought another visit from Troy Kane to the band room -- where he led a game of musical jeopardy with our 7th-12th band and choir students! Thank you to Troy -- the kids are enjoying your visits!
The show choir kids did great today at their first competition of the year in Grand Island. The judges were awesome and gave very positive feedback. Great job, Purple Reign!
Sophomores stepped up at the career fair -- dominating the "dos" and "do nots" of resume building (1st - Taneal and Danessa), placing in the top 10 (pictured here) or winning the pull up challenge (Holden - 23!). They are pictured here with the Midwest Bank booth representatives.
At the Thayer County Career Fair, DPS sophomores came dressed to impress, ready with their resumes, and learning about summer internships and potential future careers at that Stastny Center in Hebron. The future looks bright for them right here in Thayer County. Thank you, TCEDA!
A day off for some wasn't a day off for all on Feb. 22nd...the DPS JH Quiz Bowl team and speech contestants spent the day competing!
At the TVC Speech Meet, Jordan LeFave got 6th, and the OID team got 5th. Pictures of the speech contestants coming!
Congratulations, Dragons!
3rd grade learned more about the presidents included on Mount Rushmore to celebrate President's Day. We also created our own Mount Rushmore by trying to build the tallest or widest self-standing monument using tape and straws!
A&P students learn about human brain anatomy while dissecting a sheep brain.
Good luck to our show choir students, Purple Reign, as they have their first show choir competition on Saturday in Grand Island.
They had dress rehearsal today in preparation for this Saturday!
