DES Dolphin News
May/June 2020
Welcome to June!
What an awesome year it has been! While the end of the school year is not what any of us would have wanted, nevertheless, here it is. It has been my pleasure and honor to meet so many of you and get to know your children this year. You have welcomed the new administrative team of Mr. Breedlove, Mrs. Walker, and me, and for that I am most appreciative. This year was one of learning, relearning, and tons of new experiences with our DES treasures. I appreciate the feedback and input from the DES family this year, and look forward to continuing the dialogue with each of you on how we can continue to make DES special for everyone who comes to the school. I cannot thank you enough for making me feel so welcome and giving me the opportunity to work with such a fabulous community.
As we close out the 2020 school year, we do have a few additional yearbooks for sale. If you are interested in purchasing one, please call the office during regular office hours. You may bring check or cash for the yearbook; the cost is still $30 for a full-color, handback, 80 page reflection of the year.
The administrative team is planning for the 2021 school year, and hope to share more information with your throughout the summer as we see what unfolds for opening school. My prayer is that we will all be together at the end of August, kicking off another school year. For now, with so many unknowns, we are not sharing classroom supply orders or some of those typical end-of-year information sheets at this time. I hope to get updates to you throughout the summer, so please stay tuned.
Again, thank you for a great school year! I love being a Dolphin and am looking forward to the 2021 school year! Stay safe, wear sunscreen, and be kind.
All my best,
Susan R. McCandless
Proud Principal of Denton Elementary
