Projects fueled by curiosity π
A few of our 9th graders got to share projects with the school, faculty, and families centered around topics they were excited to learn more about.
Students explored everything from succulents, to Twenty One Pilots, to the evolution of baking.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to learn something new!

We have officially declared today as National Jenna Seley Appreciation Day!ππ
Administrator, nurse, event planner, and all-around superhero, our Secretary of Student Life, Mrs. Seley, wears more hats than we can count, exactly why she deserves a holiday all of her own. π
Thank you for keeping our school running and for always welcoming everyone with kindness and care. Des Moines Prep is better because of you!β¨
School is a pretty great place to be when youβre surrounded by such incredible teachers and staff.
This week (and every week), weβre thankful for the people who make our community so welcoming. π
