What a great week to be a Diamondback! We had our "Slime the Principal" assembly to celebrate the minutes read and money earned during our Read-A-Thon fundraiser. Mrs. Owens was such a good sport!

On Tuesday we spent time with our Buddy Classes playing games, reading, and drawing. We were also able to congratulate the winners of this year's Reflections Contest. They wrote music, made movies, danced, and showed the world their talents.

Today we had our first High School Graduate parade. Here is a picture of all the Mica Mountain seniors that attended DWE.

Hope to see you at our Community Fair this evening!
