We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!
2nd grade read the book Amelia Bedelia's First Apple Pie, then Mrs. Langan went home and made the recipe in the back of the book. Turns out it's a hit for most of the 2nd graders. Especially when you add ice cream!
Picture day has been rescheduled for October 29. We will send out more information closer to time.
Information regarding girls basketball:
Good luck to our softball team as they begin regional play today. They will play St. Andrew at 4:30. Good Luck Lady Rangers!
2nd Grade taste tested apples and graphed which was their favorite. What a great way to start the fall season!
Boys basketball will be starting soon!
DGS is aware of the increase in social media threats of violence targeting schools in Illinois and Missouri. Although these threats were found to be unsubstantiated after further investigation, their purpose was to disrupt the learning environment. The school collaborates with local law enforcement to handle these situations. Please report any suspicious activity to DGS officials.
8th grade recognition for baseball and softball will be at today's games. Please come out to the park as we celebrate our 8th graders: Ryan, Kaleb, Rowdy and Jace. Good luck Rangers!
