Thank you, Ms Klingensmith for visiting our 5th grade classrooms today! As one of the counselors at DLPMS, we are so grateful for your time as we prepare students to transition to the middle school! 🧡🐾

Yesterday, all fourth grade students were able to travel to Cary Pioneer Farm and participate in Project RED day (rural education day) sponsored by Gratiot County Farm Bureau. It was a great day learning more about agriculture and the outdoors! Thank you everyone who made this happen! What a cool experience!!!



Is your student a 5th grader? Do you have 6pm Wednesday, May 25th on your calendar yet?
Join us for an outdoor music concert in our bus loop! Hope to see you there!

Do you know a child that goes out of his or her way to help others? Do you know a child that does great things for your community? We want to recognize those children that are out there performing small acts of kindness. Whether it be mowing an elderly neighbor’s lawn, caring for a sick relative or helping a classmate who is bullied, Barberi Law Firm wants to reward children who are doing good deeds to help others.
Students are learning how to draw self-portraits in art class. They look great!



Backpack loaded with school supplies giveaway! Check out the flyer for details. Paper copies can be found outside our office.
Today, our 5th grade students learned about options available to them at the middle school with Music! Thanks Mr. Newman, Ms. Rowley, Samantha, and the chamber singers for coming to talk and share your talents with us! 🎼🎵🎶
Parents of 5th graders, look for a letter to come home today with information about music options available to your soon-to-be 6th grader.
