Last but not least, we would love to have a little holiday fun during the last 4 days before Winter Break (12/17 - 12/20). Please join us in our fun countdown by dressing up each day. (If you need supplies, head to Five Below during spirit week this week.)
Countdown to Winter Break:
Those last 4 days seem to take forever.
Let's make it fun by dressing up together!
Students and staff can all take part,
Each outfit will be like a work of art!
On Monday we'll be so full of cheer,
let's dress in the theme of Santa's reindeer!
When Tuesday arrives, it will be your pick,
Dress as a snow pal, or Jolly St. Nick!
Wednesday will be a "Workshop Scene",
Dress like an elf or wear red white & green!
Thankful on Thursday, we'll surely be.
How will we dress? It's a mystery!
Crazy socks, elf shoes or straight out of bed?
Anything to make us smile and not lose our head!
AUTHOR VISIT ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2018
Dyer Elementary and the Dyer PTO are proud to host Peter Brown, who is the author and illustrator of some of our favorite books.
Peter Brown has always loved using words and pictures to tell stories. His love of visual storytelling led him to study illustration at Art Center College of Design. And when he took his first children’s book class he knew that he’d found his calling.
Since then Peter has published over a dozen books for children. His books have earned him numerous honors, including a Caldecott Honor, a Horn Book Award, two E.B. White Awards, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book award and six NY Times Bestsellers. His titles include My Teacher Is a Monster! (No, I Am Not.), Mr. Tiger Goes Wild, Creepy Carrots!, Children Make Terrible Pets, and The Curious Garden. Peter’s first novel for children, The Wild Robot, was published in 2016, and its sequel, The Wild Robot Escapes, came out in March of 2018.

Birthday Wishes in Big Lights!
We will continue our PAWS program school-wide. The goal of this program is to not only notice positive behavior, but also to reward that behavior. You can help support the funding of this program, and wish your child a happy birthday on our school marquee at the same time. It's a win-win! For a $5 contribution, a Happy Birthday message along with your child's first name and last initial will be displayed on our marquee for three days during the week of your child's birthday. Summer birthday? Not a problem, We will display summer birthday messages during the last week of school and during their birthday week. NOTE: Your child's name will be displayed on their birth date as well as the day immediately before and after. Orders can be placed via Mypaymentsplus.com under the School Events tab. Please note, requests will be processed the next business day.
