September 11: We Remember

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage of the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who answered tragedy with bravery, compassion, and unity.

As a school community, we reflect on the importance of remembrance, service, kindness, and coming together in support of one another.

We will never forget.

Learning is in full swing at De Soto High School!

Students have been busy building new skills and putting their learning into action across the building!

In Señor Schiele’s Spanish class, students learned the days of the week and reinforced their new vocabulary with a fun days-of-the-week song and dance. What a great way to make learning memorable!

Meanwhile, Mrs. Greenlee’s math students have been hard at work strengthening their math skills, working through problems, and building their confidence along the way.

From Spanish vocabulary to mathematical problem-solving, our Dragons are engaged, learning, and growing every day!

Character Education is on display at De Soto Middle School!

Our Middle School Character Education students put their vocabulary skills to work by decorating the front doors and areas throughout the school with character words and their definitions.

This creative activity gave students the opportunity to strengthen their understanding of important character traits while sharing those lessons with everyone who walks through our doors. A great example of learning that helps build both strong students and a strong school community!

Last week, Ms. Anderson’s High School FACS classes took part in a hands-on lesson about cross-contamination and the importance of food safety. Students had the opportunity to see firsthand how easily cross-contamination can occur and why proper food-handling practices matter.

Lessons like this go beyond the classroom, giving students practical knowledge, building critical thinking skills, and helping them make informed decisions in everyday life. That’s learning with a purpose!
