Over the past few weeks, our 4th and 5th graders had an amazing time participating in a bowling outing sponsored by the DE PTA! Students enjoyed a fun-filled trip to Sea Breeze Bowl, where they spent two hours laughing, cheering, and making great memories together. Thanks to the support of the PTA and our wonderful parent volunteers, we were even able to walk to the bowling alley and enjoy this special experience as a group. It was a fantastic opportunity for both fun and connectionโthank you to everyone who helped make it possible!

Durand Eastman turned Reading Day into a cozy camping adventure! Students snuggled up in their comfiest outfits with blankets and stuffed animals, read inside tents, and enjoyed a special visit from author Kevin Kurtz, who led a fun writerโs workshop. Guest readers also stopped by classrooms to share stories and join in the fun. It was a wonderful day celebrating the joy and love of reading! ๐๐
