Ho ho ho, no grumpy faces allowed! The DES students just scored a free book for the holidays! Every Christmas, they get to pick a book from the library as their festive treat. This year marks the 10th time the DES library has played Santa with its book giveaway. By diving into different stories, kids can explore new people, places, and events that are way outside their usual bubble. Reading is like a magic potion for students—it sparks their imagination and boosts their brainpower! When kids realize how awesome reading is, they can unleash their inner superheroes!
These 5th grade students have joined the IXL 50 Point Club for this semester. Way-to-Go!
Whoever said math is a snooze-fest clearly hasn't met Mrs. Morphew! Her math classes are rolling dice and racking up points in Farkle while mastering the art of multiplying by 10s, 100s, and 1000s. A big shoutout to Mrs. Morphew for turning math into a party!
Yesterday, DES threw a Christmas bash that could make Santa jealous! Mrs. Morphew's class is having a blast with the pop-up masks they crafted. Have a jolly good time, everyone!
HO! HO! HO!
Mrs. Collins came around with the Prize Wagon this morning to celebrate students who have shown growth in iReady and Star! Congratulations, students, and Thank you to Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Faulkenberry for always celebrating growth with our students!
Check it out! These amazing kiddos are our school's reading rock stars! Each one has scored 75 points or more in the AR program and is crushing their growth goals in IReady.

You all are awesome!
More pics of Mrs. Unruh's Science Class "Glow Day". Enjoy!
Mrs. Unruh's 5th graders are absolutely shining with their Science smarts today! They dove into a fantastic final project exploring chemical changes and the Law of Conservation of Matter. At each station, students tackled science questions and then jumped into a super fun activity!
Mrs. Hanney's 5th graders are glowing with Science Knowledge today. Her class participated in a culminating activity studying about chemical changes and the Law of Conservation of Matter. Students answered science questions at each station and then got to do a fun activity.
Way-to-Go! Sounds like a lot of fun!
Students of the Month for December. Way to go! #leopardpride
Mrs. Collins does an amazing job helping Mrs. Efird’s 3rd grade class learn opinion writing, “The Great Candy Cane Debate.” The students enjoyed using their scientific minds to observe the physical elements of the candy canes. They also liked the treat!
Mrs. Phillips and Mrs Runnels would like to thank Pilgrim's for all they do.
This great bunch of fourth graders have met their math fluency goals on Reflex Math and we’re rewarded with a trip to the book machine! Keep up the good work, 4th Graders!

These amazing fifth grade students met their goal on Reflex Math and were rewarded with a trip to the book machine! Way to go, fifth grade!
In Mrs. Gilbert's third-grade class, the students took the timeless story of Stone Soup and set out to create their own delicious dish! Each young chef contributed a unique ingredient, transforming the classroom into a fantastic kitchen. They discovered that sharing is like adding spices—it enhances the flavor of everything! Who would have thought that a group of third graders could cook up a lesson in kindness along with a hearty pot of soup?
