Happy Monday! A big thank you to all who helped make our DCE Red Ribbon week, Harvest fest, and Costume parade a big success. Congratulations to the winners of the pumpkin carving contest: 1st place The Aragon Family, 2nd place The Cordova Family, 3rd place The Lafferty Family. We will send home Prizes and Certificates with your students. Any pumpkins not picked up by the end of the day will be discarded.
Also, a reminder that we will have our DCE Parent Advisory/Site council meeting tonight at 5:30 pm in the library. All are invited, we will be discussing Title I, Student Attendance, and our recent Distinguished Schools Award.
