Safety first...
“We Mustache Mize Hawks Not to Bully or Do Drugs.” Spirit Week – October 5-9, 2015.
The month of October marks the nationwide recognition campaigns for Bully Prevention and Drug Awareness. Our goal is to empower Mize Hawks with the knowledge they need to stop bullying in our community and teach skills for living healthy, drug-free lives. We will be kicking off our month long celebration with a Spirit Week – October 5-9, 2015. Throughout the week, “We Mustache Mize Hawks Not to Bully or Do Drugs.” Spirit days will be as follows:
De Soto USD232 named the BEST School District in Kansas!
“The ratings are based on student math and reading proficiency on state assessment tests, with a few other institutional factors considered as well (i.e. student-teacher ratio, student discipline, etc.). Each state’s selection for “Best School District” is determined by the highest average Smart Rating of all the schools in the district. Districts that have only one school or have charter schools were not included.” – msn.com
