DeSoto Grade School

In case anyone was needing a new recipe for their turkey this year...just ask our kindergarteners!

Morning drop off procedures: When the bus has the stop arm extended and children are exiting the bus at the playground gate, please remember to stay behind the stop arm and wait until the bus has moved to release your children from the car. We have had multiple instances of children being dropped off and walking in front of the bus. Thank you for your cooperation. The safety of our children is always our top priority.

Happy Veterans Day from DGS.

Reminder: The Veterans Day Breakfast will be Friday, November 8 from 7:30am-8:00am. Veterans, feel free to wear your uniform or part of your uniform for breakfast with your DGS student!

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!
