DT Cox Elementary School Home

(5/21) Our final Beta project is complete! Today, all of the items collected throughout the month of May for the Tupelo Children's Mansion are being donated. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make a difference in the lives of these children. We are so proud of our students for showing kindness, generosity, and servant hearts!

(5/21) Teachers pulled one last prank on Mr. Varnon today by wearing T-shirts with his face on them! What started as a funny surprise quickly turned into a sweet reminder of just how much he means to our school family.
Mr. Varnon, you will truly be missed at DTC, but we know you’re going to do amazing things at Pontotoc Middle School. PMS, you are gaining a great one!

(5/19) DT Cox Warrior Club members enjoyed a field trip to the Toyota Experience Center. The boys experienced auto manufacturing first hand and learned of the process of car creation from start to finish. During recreation time, some boys were innovative as they created “shoe baseball” using shoes as bat, ball, and base!

(5/19) Mrs. Bishop introduced her students to the sport of fishing by teaching them how to properly cast a rod and reel. She also welcomed Mr. Dustin Rodgers from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks to speak with the class about careers in wildlife and fisheries, as well as the many species of fish found throughout Mississippi. Students enjoyed the hands-on experience of touching and holding fish while learning many interesting and educational facts about Mississippi’s wildlife and natural resources.

(5/18) Students at DTC who met their AR goal for the fourth nine weeks were rewarded with an exciting visit from a mobile gaming truck today! Their hard work, dedication to reading, and commitment to reaching their goals paid off with a day full of fun, laughter, and friendly competition. We are so proud of our students for making reading a priority all year long!

(5/18) DTC Kickball Tournament got heated today as our final classes went head to head! The championship game featured Mrs. McNeal’s fourth graders taking on Mrs. Steele’s third graders in an exciting battle to the finish. Congratulations to Mrs. Steele’s class for taking home the trophy! 🎉

(5/18) Mrs. Brown’s music classes sang out the school year by enjoying some karaoke time. A great time was had as students became stars of the day!
