We had an amazing, snowy day at DWE today!
Tomorrow, Friday, March 3rd is the annual Field Day activities, led by our Specialist Team! We are hoping the weather will cooperate but if not we will adjust our plans.
Please ensure that students come to school on Friday wearing athletic/comfy clothing and sneakers! If you are an approved volunteer and would like to come help that day, please reach out to our front office.
Kindergarten Round Up is tomorrow! If you know someone who will be starting kindergarten next year we would love to see them tomorrow night!
Stop by anytime between 5:30 pm and 7:00 pm to get information about Kindergarten, check out classrooms, and get more familiar with the Desert Willow campus!
Today is Rare Disease Day, an international day of advocacy and awareness for the 300 million people diagnosed with a rare disease worldwide.
Many staff members, students, parents, and community members connected with your school are affected by one or more of these diseases. Today is a day to value and support them.
The zebra is the official symbol of rare diseases in the United States and is noted for its black and white stripes, which are central to its uniqueness. Everyone has his/her own stripes, those characteristics that make each individual distinct.
We have so many amazing volunteers here at Desert Willow! It was wonderful to celebrate all our volunteers today; we would like to recognize Mrs. Dennis as our 2022-2023 volunteer of the year!
Mrs. Dennis is a dedicated volunteer in her children's classrooms. Her positive attitude and warm smile impact everyone here at DWE!
If you know someone who would like their child to come to Desert Willow. Invite them to the VSD Open Enrollment Event in April!
