The General's Update
Your guide to DDE events & announcements: 2/16/2020
School closed tomorrow! We'll see you Tuesday, 2/18!
Thrilled that Mr. Klusewicz’s biggest fans were able to join him to celebrate his board recognition for Eisenhower Teacher of the Year!
Mrs. Hohenshilt's class is hard at work preparing for their Catena visitors next week!
So proud of our Generals as they stand beside their Blue Jay peers to be inducted into the National Junior Honor Society!
