May 2018 Nurture*Inspire*Empower
Our 4th-6th graders did a fantastic job researching a famous person from history and coming to life at The Living Museum, while the rest of our students listened to them in awe. Some of our kindergartners had them sign autographs! Thank you to Mr. Pitera and Mrs. Davis for planning the whole event. It was a huge success!
Our Great Skate fundraising night was a success. Thank you for showing up to this quickly planned event. We were so thankful to our DU family that won us the night out. You rock!
We are very proud of our classrooms as they do project based learning daily to solve real world problems and learn about a variety of careers.
It's Time to Celebrate!!!!!

WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE...
We continue to live our vision at DU to nurture, inspire and empower our students by adding in school clubs during the school day on Fridays!! Each teacher will host a club and students will sign up for a club that interests them and they will attend it every Friday. We know the addition of interest based clubs will inspire our students to follow their interests and as well as gain new interests.
