Happy Sunday DDS Families,
This was an exciting week at DDS! Students started bringing in their pledges for our Read-a-Thon, multi-age groups met to play collaborative games, the first of our duck eggs hatched, and our grade 4 students wrapped up their Maverick research projects. We also have a group of dedicated volunteers building our Gaga Ball pit in our school yard today! Thank you DDS families! As we enter our final month of the 2023-24 school year, please continue to ensure your child is dressed to be outside in all kinds of weather as classes are often learning outdoors.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Heather, Monique, Sue, and Debbie

Read-a-Thon:
Thank you to everyone who has been reading and raising funds for DDS over the last two weeks! We will continue to collect forms and pledges until Wednesday, June 5th. Once we have totaled all of the contributions, we will announce our student winners for Principal and Assistant Principal for a day. New technology and books will be purchased for the school because of our generous community donations. Thank you!
