DDB's Culinary Club has been busy learning about presentations. This week, they divided into teams and created a beautifully colorful culinary treat of fruit skewers and fruit cups. The DDB staff were then asked to vote on which team created the best masterpiece. Congratulations Team #1!!

Mrs. Aston is at it again in her after-school Science club! This week the students created a protective barrier around an egg for an egg drop off the playground set. As a bonus, the eggs came from our very own CCS chicken coop that Ms. Engle’s Perma Culture Club runs. We love seeing our students engaged and working together to achieve goals.

Seventh graders at MVP created projects to wrap up their Revolutionary War unit. They were so creative!! Some chose to create flags, which had to be on anything but paper, and they took that challenge seriously!

A few weeks ago Dr. Daniel Bright's 4th grade class went to Bisbee, Arizona! They toured the Cooper Queen Mine and explored Kartchner Caverns. We want to thank Low Income Student Aid, Inc. for assisting 6 DDB students with their fees to go on this field trip.
