The first-ever Arcadia Cornhole Club was hosted today! Twenty 5th graders got to participate, and they finished with a final championship match. The winning team took home a set of some super fun cornhole bags. What a blast! We love to see kids having fun and learning great sportsmanship by cheering on their classmates.

With academic classes finished for Deer Park Home Link, here are some highlights from the final week of school.
Students in Ms. Krug-Hanson's biology class completed their year with a hands-on shark dissection for their final assignment. As another fun end-of-year activity, students at the Clayton campus got to hang out on some local tractors.
It was a wonderful week of hands-on learning and fun to wrap up the academic year. Way to go, Home Link students!

FFA horticulture students have been busy learning how to germinate plants, maintain records, care for various species, and develop marketing strategies in preparation for our annual spring plant sale. A major highlight was seeing our high school students host over 40 preschool students! Our members taught them how to transplant a flower, which each preschooler was then able to take home. Before heading back to their classroom, the kids took a tour of the greenhouse to learn about the different flowers and vegetables growing inside. It was a wonderful day of mentorship and learning!

May is state testing month! How can we ensure our students are relaxed and ready? Mr. Seagreaves and Mrs. Siwinski classes wrote letters to Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Didier’s 3rd graders, who have been their reading buddies all year. The letters included state test tips and advice for the 3rd graders first-time taking the state test next week. To all DPSD students - you've got this!
