Our high school students had the incredible opportunity to hear from community panelists brought in by Dagan, who shared their experiences and insights about being involved in the civic process. 🗳️
The students asked thoughtful questions and left inspired to step up and make a difference in their communities. A huge thank you to the panelists for sharing their stories and to Dagan for organizing this event! 🙌
Join us for a lovely concert from our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders on Tuesday evening.
Today was Character Day at the elementary in celebration of Reading Month. It was also Pi Day, the day that acknowledges the mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The school was treated to amazing character costumes and Oatmeal Creme Pies.
What a great way to end the week!

Bibi (11th) , Alex (10th), and Ross (10th) attended the Educator Recruiter Day at UND.
The Army recruiter stopped by our school to introduce himself. He grew up in a small town in Louisiana and is very excited to work with us for the next three years. Our boys challenged each other to a pull up bar competition with two tying with 9 reps. If your junior or senior is interested in full or part time service, Ms. Beckstrom can connect you to the recruiter.
At the Drayton Speech Meet on Saturday, March 8th 5 DP students represented and took home a sweet coffee cup and some awards, including a STATE QUALIFIER for Dagan!
