(1/23) Ms. Spicer's class did a brain break snow dance today in hopes for snow instead of ice this weekend!

(1/23) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals this week. Keep up the good work!

(1/22) Mrs. Hodum's students' weekly reading story focused on a town that experienced destruction caused by a tornado. With the upcoming threat of icy weather in our own community, students extended their learning by exploring severe weather events. They compared tornadoes and snowstorms through a Jeopardy-style game, allowing students to work together, apply their knowledge, make comparisons, and use emerging meteorology skills in an engaging way.

(1/16) Mrs. Steele’s classes learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the lasting impact he had and still has today. Students participated in an “eggsperiment” that demonstrated how eggs may have different outer appearances, like people, but on the inside they are all the same. Students discussed equality and the importance of treating people equally no matter their differences.

(1/16) DTC students Aiden Berry, Lauren Curiel, and Jax Russell proudly represented our school at the County-Wide Spelling Bee last night. 🐝 We are so proud of their hard work and dedication!

(1/15) DT Cox Beta Club members are excited about the upcoming officer election!

(12/19) DT Cox wants to celebrate our students' achievements!

(12/11) Our fourth graders had an incredible day on Wednesday! 🎶
They attended a performance by the Tupelo Golden Wave Orchestra, where students not only enjoyed beautiful music, but also got to explore a variety of instruments and hear the unique sounds each one makes.
After the performance, students enjoyed a picnic at Ballard Park, and had a blast playing on the new inclusive playground. 🌳✨ It was truly an amazing experience!
A huge thank you to the Tupelo Golden Wave Orchestra for welcoming our students, and giving them such a memorable opportunity! 🎻👏
