Today, the halls of Deer Park Elementary were transformed into a living tribute. Our students came together with one shared, powerful purpose: to honor the profound sacrifices of the men and women who have served our country.
With young hands and grateful hearts, our students have poured their appreciation into beautiful art projects. These heartfelt creations now proudly line the elementary corridors, while others are making their way into the hands of local veterans and traveling across the globe to active-duty military members stationed overseas.
Here in Deer Park, gratitude isn't just a word—it is a value we live by every single day. But today, surrounded by the sincere respect and creativity of our students, that gratitude shone just a little bit brighter during our Veterans Day assembly.
To all our veterans and active military: thank you. We see you, we honor you, and we will never forget your service.

Last week, Deer Park Middle School participated in National Red Ribbon Week, promoting drug prevention and awareness. Students showed their school spirit by dressing up each day and coming together to celebrate what DPMS is all about: unity, strength, and a bright, drug-free future!
Living drug-free is about more than a pledge. It's about supporting one another, making positive choices, and building a community where everyone can succeed.
Here are some photos highlighting PJ and Blackout Day!

Both soccer and volleyball have advanced to the district semifinals tonight. Soccer is playing West Valley at Central Valley and volleyball will travel to Pullman.
Volleyball hosts for the first round of the GSL playoffs tonight. Game time is 6:00. A friendly reminder that GSL passes are for the regular season only so they will not work at the game tonight. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for students with ASB cards.
🌟 November Profile of a Graduate Spotlight: Personally & Socially Accountable
This month, Deer Park School District is highlighting another important characteristic from our Profile of a Graduate: Personally and Socially Accountable.
We want our students to learn that their choices matter. Being accountable means taking responsibility for their actions and decisions, demonstrating integrity, and recognizing how their behavior affects others.
Across our schools, students are learning to take ownership of their learning and behavior, make thoughtful choices, and contribute positively to the people and community around them. These skills help students grow not only as learners, but also as responsible friends, teammates, leaders, employees, and community members.

🎃👻 Learning Comes to Life with 5th Grade Boo-ographies! 📚✨
Who says academics and Halloween can't go hand in hand?!
Our creative 5th graders brought history to life with their annual "Boo-ographies" tradition! Students researched historical figures, learned about their lives and accomplishments, and then stepped into character to portray the individuals they studied!
What a fantastic way to combine research, reading, writing, creativity, and public speaking—all while having a little Halloween fun! 🎃
We love seeing our students engaged in meaningful learning experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence, and make learning memorable.
What a BOO-tiful tradition! 👻🧡🖤
