DES McTeacher Night was so much fun! Thank you for joining the Denning Family for dinner. We love connecting with you. ❤️

This week our Denning Glow Getter.
Thanks, Mrs. Nolen, for all your hard work and dedication.

Join us Sunday May 3rd to chalk the sidewalks.
We will be here from 5:00-6:00 in the front of the main doors.

We will have chalk on hand but if you wish to use other styles or colors your welcome to bring that as well.

We are excited to show our staff how much they are appreciated when they come in on Monday morning.

Tomorrow starts our Fun Fridays for May.
May 1st- Sunnies and Hats

Don't forget to come see your 2nd Grade Teachers tomorrow morning. 7:30-8:00

You don't even have to get out of your car. What a way to start your Friday.

Thank you Mrs. Garza and FCHS art students for visiting with 2nd grade. In honor of the upcoming "Creatures of the Sea" play, students made origami fish. Thank you so much for taking your time to share your passion with DES students!

Our staff at Denning would like to give a 🌟BIG Shoutout to W.F. Sonic.🌟 Our Sunshine Committee placed an order for our whole staff and intended on paying for them. The manager on duty said "Drinks on Us". "We would love to give back to our schools more often". We can't say "Thank You" enough. We will be ordering again soon.

🌟Bragging on some super cool kids! How long would it take you to pickup 145 pieces of trash? These boys did it all during their recess time. They were not asked to pickup any trash they just didn't on their own. Way to be a leader boys! You earned your bragging rights!🌟

LUNCH WITH THE PRINCIPAL I had the absolute pleasure of having lunch with Remi and Aubree! It is such a joy to get to know students one-on-one. These are my favorite lunches. ❤️

Don't forget to some see your Denning Teachers and Staff!
tomorrow evening. We will be serving up some cheeseburgers and french fries.
