We had a great first week of December! The first grader's are practicing for their concert next Tuesday! We can't wait to see them! In Mrs. Baker's first grade class they are preparing to learn about how winter holidays are celebrated around the world by making gingerbread! Our 4th and 5th graders got a special treat today: a performance from Ballet Rincon! A huge thank you to them for coming today to share their talents with us!

We have so much to be thankful for this short week at DWE! We had our November grade level buddies on Monday - it is so great to see our students making connections across different grade levels!
We are also so thankful for our awesome PTA! They made so many amazing things happen today: they invited the Arizona Opera and we got to see "The Littlest Mermaid," they spoiled our staff with a delicious pie bar, and they helped organize dance parties at lunch time and our silly staff race this afternoon!
Have an amazing long weekend Diamondback, we are thankful for every family in our community! See you Monday!
We may only have 2 days of school next week but we will be squeezing in a week's worth of fun! Check out what is going on at DWE!!

Another week has flown by here at DWE! It was such a blast to see all the creative, silly, and spooky costumes around campus yesterday! Then today we had a thrilling visit from the Tucson Twist-It's!
