Dear DPM Families,
Happy Veterans Day! The Deer Path administration and staff send our deepest gratitude to all the veterans in our extended Deer Path and D67 community; thank you for your service and sacrifices for our country.
As we reflect upon Election Day and Veterans Day, we are reminded of the District’s Portrait of a Learner, specifically the competency of citizenship. We encourage our students to contribute and take action toward making the world a better place. Everyday we are so proud to see countless examples of students who demonstrate our core values of perseverance, integrity, compassion, curiosity, and funtastic in classrooms, at lunch, and on the playground! #WeAreDeerpath
Please take a moment to view the pictures from the week! Throughout the month of November, we continuously reflect on how grateful we are to have such amazing students and staff that we have at Deer Path! Thank you for making DPM a special place.
Sincerely,
Megan Eigenrauch, 5/6 Principal
Sam Paulsen, 7/8 Principal
