🌽📚 Our 5th grade ELA teachers are diving into Unit 1 of the new curriculum today, and it’s all about cultivating natural resources! We’re starting with a focus on the production of corn—a crop that has shaped history, culture, and communities around the world.

FINAL CHANCE to place your Charleston Wrap orders! Would you help us exceed our goal by sharing our fundraising link one last time? Even one share can make a huge difference! Share via email, text, or social media today. Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraiser!

Shop the Viking Spirit Store this Friday!

Homecoming Week is September 8-12!
Join the celebration by participating in HOCO in Paradise!

Mrs. Lopez's 5th graders took inspiration from the novel, "Frindle," and got to work as word creators! 📝✨ They each invented a brand-new word, wrote their own definition, and pitched it to their classmates. The best part? The words were combined to create a 5th Grade Dictionary 📖🎉. Proof that when you give kids the power of words, they’ll make magic with it! 💡🔤

Mrs. Hanson’s students are rocking and rolling through their Earth science unit! Their latest activity? Using graham crackers and frosting to model plate tectonics! Who knew science could be so delicious?

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Trina’s kindergarten class enjoyed math centers! They were able to use their creativity and imagination to make learning fun on Friday.

Time is running out—we need your help! Haven’t placed your Charleston Wrap order yet? Whether you’re looking for birthday gifts, housewarming presents, teacher appreciation items, or just want to treat yourself, now’s the perfect time. Place your order by September 5 to help us reach our goal! Please share our link with friends & family through email, text, and social media!

We are thrilled to share that Shelly Singletary has been named Community Partners in Education (CPIE) Coordinator of the Year!
Shelly’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to building strong partnerships have made an incredible impact on our students, families, and staff at Dewar Elementary. Her collaboration with community stakeholders continues to strengthen opportunities and support for our school, and we are so proud of her outstanding achievement!

Mrs. Ply's third graders are growing into thoughtful readers! Today, they practiced making annotations as they read — writing notes, circling important words, and adding symbols to help them think more deeply about the text. This strategy helps students stay engaged and build stronger comprehension skills. 📚✏️

Mrs. King’s 1st-grade class spent time discussing what makes a strong reader. Afterwards, students had independent reading time to practice and demonstrate those strong reading skills!

Thank you, LEIF! Mrs. Weldon's classroom just got puzzle-perfect! We are so grateful for this wonderful grant that fuels their curiosity and critical thinking. 🧩😊

Remember Everyone Deployed! Wear RED on Fridays!
