It’s a wrap for the students of Mrs. Menards and Mrs. Boykin’s kindergarten class. Mrs. Boykin enlisteded the help of the students and parents and surprised Mrs. Menard with a beautiful keepsake box with heartfelt letters from her students and some of her favorite snacks. In their final week, they performed for family and friends at their end of the year program. Lots of happy tears for this amazinging bunch of students. Hello Summer!
Ms. Herman’s Pre-K student’s enjoyed a unique experience to wrap up the school year. They participated in a classroom "auction," spinning a wheel filled with prizes while practicing taking turns and celebrating each other's wins!

Pre-K celebrated with a bang today at their End of the Year Ceremony!
Dewar Elementary School is so excited to announce that our Small Business award goes to Title Town Toys. Title Town Toys has been a huge blessing for Dewar Elementary School. The Greer's ensured that our students participated in a very festive Fall Festival/PBIS Fall party with their generous donations of pumpkins and student incentives. Title Town Toys has donated money throughout the year to ensure that we were able to complete monthly incentives/treats for the staff. They also helped to make sure that for our upcoming school year that our students/families each have a car placard to ensure the safety pick up of our students. When we ask for assistance, Title Town Toys has been there. We are so proud of their generosity and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
Dewar Elementary School would like to congratulate Mrs. Viriginia Atkinson for being our Volunteer of the Year. Mrs. Atkinson is a former teacher of Lowndes County Schools and is a small business owner. She is involved in many activities in the community; however, that has not stopped her from giving her time and assistance to our students/teachers at Dewar Elementary. Mrs. Atkinson is always available to come in and read to our students and is so intriguing. She even adopted a couple of classrooms and donated books to the class. She participates in Career Day and even drops off sweet incentives for our staff on a regular basis. Mrs. Atkinson is available for whatever and whenever we need her. Thanks for being such an asset and inspiration to Dewar Elementary!
Dewar Elementary would like to congratulate Jeff Fulp with ERCO for our large business Community Partner Award!
ERCO has gone above and beyond this school year. They have only recently become our community partner and have surpassed more than we could have ever imagined. They have donated funds to events that we do monthly for our staff, student incentives, ensured that we will have car placards for car riders for the upcoming school year, and given funds for teacher appreciation. We are so appreciative and excited!
Dewar’s last deployment club meeting was a success. Thank you to all of our volunteers!!
Dewar would like to recognize our military spouses! Thank you so much for your service!! We appreciate all you do for our students!
The Summer Countdown continues in Mrs. Menard’s and Mrs. Boykin’s room. Monday was Glow Day and their balloon pop revealed popsicles for a class treat. During math rotations students got to participate in bowling away (subtraction), glowing numbers (putting numbers in order 1-100), roll and add, Minus 1 and spin a number. What an awesome way to review skills.
Attention Parents!!
For the safety of the students, the car riders will be dropped off in front of the school again today. Thank you!!
Wear RED on Tuesday, May 14th!
As another year comes to a close, we would like to celebrate all of these students' accomplishments as members of Dewar’s Student Council! We have truly enjoyed watching you serve our school, our community, and grow as leaders! Thank you all for another great year!! We are SO proud of you! 👏
Unfortunately we will be canceling Kona Ice today, with hopes of rescheduling next week. Please stay tuned for that date.
Today is the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week, and we want to give a big shoutout to the amazing teachers at Dewar Elementary who go above and beyond every day! To our special education teachers, early intervention teachers, speech and language teachers, and ESOL teachers: you all play such important roles in our school community. Your dedication to helping each student succeed, no matter their challenges or backgrounds, is truly inspiring. You create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and included. Thank you for your hard work, patience, and endless support. You make a difference in our lives every single day!
The very first Good Morning Dewar News Show celebrated the end of the year with pizza, sodas and cupcakes. These 5th grade girls have done a tremendous job this year bringing a live daily news show to everyone at Dewar Elementary. They served as the hosts and producers of the show each day. Well done girls! We are proud of you and will miss you so much!!
