The CDIS music room was filled with all kinds of silly sounds this week as fourth grade students tried out a variety of musical instruments. Next year these students will have an opportunity to join 5th grade band and this gives them a chance to discover which instruments they enjoy playing. #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #cdisband #bandinstrumenttryout

We love seeing students take pride in their school and that’s exactly what a group of 5th graders at CDIS is doing. Recently they formed a “Clean Up Crew” to help keep the school looking its best! They plan to work outside when the weather is nice and inside when the weather doesn't cooperate. Great idea, Sabers! Thank you to DeWitt Bank & Trust Co. who sponsor the group and donated tools for yard work! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #cleanupcrew #saberpride #saberssucceeding
