Thanks for supporting our school!

PTO will be selling Colt Concessions during the Colt Derby.

Mrs. Byrd and Ms. Maxwell Murphy’s first grade class learned all about spiders today. Writing facts, acting out how spiders catch prey, and creating their own foodie spider helped to make these facts stick in a fun way.

Custodian Appreciation Day was yesterday and we are so thankful for all this team does to care for our school!

We're a little late, but always thankful for Mrs. Shubert. IT Appreciation Day was in September and we are so thankful for all Ms. Shubert does each day to support Colts and staff at DES.

We were able to start our Friday the best way- spending time with our DES families! We were able to host our 5th grade families this morning for parent breakfast. Sending an extra special thank you to our AMAZING cafeteria staff for serving all of our parent breakfasts 🍳

Mrs. Marlowe & Mrs. Wade's kindergarten class earned a camping day! They completed their writing in the tent, practiced reading their phonics skill with a flashlight, and enjoyed a s'mores!

Way to go, Mrs. Lasseter's phonics group! They have all earned a scratch-and-sniff pizza bookmark and are so close to earning a pizza reward party! Way to go, Colts!
