Third grade recently finished their Ancient Roman Civilization unit where they learned about Roman architecture, lasting contributions made by the Romans and more. As part of the culminating project, students made artifacts such as bridges, scrolls, the Colosseum, mosaics and Roman coins. On the last day of the unit, students created Roman symbols and architectural features out of cookie dough. After nutrition services baked the cookies, students were able to enjoy them! Thank you to the Central DeWitt PTO for funding this culminating project!

Thank you to everyone who rounded up at Randy’s Neighborhood Market during the week of Thanksgiving! The money raised went toward Thanksgiving Baskets created by National Honor Society for 35 local families. The baskets contained a variety of non-perishable goods, meats, household supplies, toiletries, milk, butter, eggs and all the fixings for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We are so grateful for our community’s support!

💜💛 Congratulations to CDHS Math Teacher Eric Olson who recently earned the distinction of becoming a National Board Certified teacher! It’s the highest and most-respected honor a teacher can receive in their profession.
The rigorous certification process requires teachers to provide evidence of the positive effect they have on student success. They must exhibit a deep understanding of their students, the subject they teach, use of data, assessments and teaching practices. They must also show they participate in learning communities and provide evidence of ongoing reflection and continuous learning.
Congratulations again, Mr. Olson! Your efforts have paid off and we couldn’t be prouder of you!

CDMS 8th grade Health/FCS students partnered with Fieldstone to create handmade activity books for residents. Students personally exchanged their machine stitched projects on a field trip this week. The projects were created in teams over a three-week time period. Each book can hold puzzle or word search books and colored pencils. A big thanks to Kimberly and Megan at Fieldstone for their great booklet design. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Fieldstone!
