This week is Student Leadership Week! Here at Desert Palms, there are so many opportunities for students to be leaders on campus. From serving as an elected officer for a club or a team captain, to being a positive role model, we extend a thank you to the students who lead our Firebirds with pride!

Don’t forget, tomorrow, April 24 schools and district offices in Peoria Unified will be closed for our April Testing Break. We look forward to welcoming students back to campus on Monday, April 27. The most up-to-date calendars can be viewed at peoriaunified.org/calendar.

Our youngest learners took time today to celebrate our Earth! They participated in a trash cleanup outside, painted rocks to beautify their garden, and enjoyed some dirt and worms for snack! They even released butterflies earlier this week. Way to go, kids!
