🌟 Big shoutout to our 5th graders! 🌟 At tonight’s school board meeting, four of our 5th grade students gave a thoughtful presentation on how the start of middle school is going. They spoke about the big changes, new routines, and what it means to step into this next chapter.

Dependable, Positive, Mindful (DPM), our students brought that message to life with confidence and heart. Amazing job, 5th graders, you made us all proud!👏

We had a wonderful first APT meeting on September 16 and were excited to welcome Tim Almy and Margaret Black from Quest Food Services. They shared exciting updates about the new additions to the DPM Cafeteria.

The highlight is the “Hub” Café-Style addition, the first of its kind in the area for a middle school! Students can now enjoy fresh paninis, salads, chipotle-style bowls, smoothies, yogurt, and lots of other à la carte options.

Thank you to all who joined us, it was a great kickoff to the year!

📅 Mark your calendars: Our next APT meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 18.
