Earth science sure is sweet! Using graham crackers and frosting, 5th grade students modeled how Earth’s tectonic plates move and interact to create some of our planet’s most amazing landforms—including mountains and volcanoes! 🌋🏔️They pushed, pulled, collided, and observed as their “plates” showed us that Earth’s surface is constantly changing! 🌎🔬
Our 5th graders studied for their upcoming test by becoming geologists for the day! 👩🔬👨🔬
They explored field sites, observed evidence, collected data, and investigated how Earth’s surface changes over time.

We loved spending time with our novice teachers and educators new to Dewar at our first New Teacher Roundtable! It was a wonderful opportunity to check in, celebrate successes, and provide support as we continue the school year. What an amazing group of educators!
A special thank you to Mr. Patel at Bojangles for generously donating sausage biscuits for our teachers. We appreciate your support!
Our Makerspace had some new visitors today! 🛠️💡
After a read-aloud and a quick introduction to what it means to be a “maker,” students had time to explore several Makerspace activities. No assignments, no finished products, just time to create, experiment, problem-solve, and discover!
We can’t wait to see what they CREATE throughout the year! ⚙️🧱✨

We are so thankful for Kona Ice and the Giveback Foundation! We have had a strong partnership with Kona Ice for several years, and their Giveback program has allowed us to fund celebrations for all our students who make positive choices! From filling our Viking Voucher carts to our amazing PBIS VIP parties, your Kona Ice purchases each month bring joy to our students in so many ways!
Last year, we profited $4,662 from the Kona Giveback program. This year, we are on track to potentially exceed that number as these awesome men dropped off our first check of the school year, a whopping $1,877!
Thank you to all our parents and staff for supporting our monthly Kona Ice days, and thank you to Kona for caring about our school communities!

📚 THE LIBRARY IS OPEN! 📚
After 6 days of orientation and 39 homeroom visits, Dewar’s library is officially up and running!
Our Vikings explored the library’s makeover, learned new routines and procedures, met our library pets, Pretzel 🐶 and Dewey 🦎, and checked out the new comfy reading areas and Makerspace activities.
Kindergarten & 1st grade students also enjoyed May I Pet Your Dog? by Stephanie Calmenson while learning how to safely interact with dogs at school and in public.
And after all 750+ students made their way through...
📚 1,148 books checked out!
We’d say that’s a pretty great way to start the next chapter in Dewar’s library. 📖
