We want to thank the school community for raising over 4,000 for the American Heart Association! Mrs. Jones highlighted our top two fundraisers Paisley K and Kingsley B and rewarded them with a goodie basket. Mrs. Walters gave Target gift cards to our Spelling Bee winners Nellie and Brantley. Mrs. Walters also highlighted Gabriella for being our top Joe Corbi fundraiser in the fall. Big thanks to all our students and communities for making our school so successful!
Here are our new DIS vocabulary words of the week! In an effort to improve our vocabulary usage across all grade levels, we have created these vocabulary cards for our school and families to use at home and in the classroom. We encourage you each week to try to incorporate our DIS word(s) of the week into your conversations at home. This week's words are inspired by the Disney movie, "101 Dalmatians" Thank you for your continued effort in supporting our students' education!
