Reminder! There's a Trunk or Treat right here in Del City, TONIGHT! 🎃 Say hello to our friends from the Chamber of Commerce, Del City first responders, Integris Health Community Hospital, and so many more! Be sure to let them know you're a Mustang! 💚🍬

N is for Nest! 🪺 Ms. Bruce's students made edible bird nests with chow mein noodles, butterscotch chips, and candy for the "eggs"!

Mrs. Royal's class did a little experiment recently! Students have been learning about electrical, sound, and light energy. 💡They've also learned that energy can be transferred and change forms. By connecting the wires from the battery to a buzzer and light bulb, they were able to apply the knowledge that the current will only flow through a closed circuit. 🔋 We are impressed! ⚡️

We're just a few days away!! Don't forget, Red Ribbon Week begins on Monday, October 27th. See attached for scheduled dress up days. Join us in celebrating safe, healthy, and successful futures for our Mustangs!

Thank you Del City Rotary Club for their donation of hoodies! We are grateful for their generosity and willingness to fill this need. At this time, we do not need any additional donations of hoodies or coats. Our wonderful community partners have provided more than enough for this year. We are so grateful!

We're starting a farm! Just kidding.. but we really do have chickens! Ms. Nicky and Ms. Meek's classes have hatched baby chicks. Starting as just an egg, they watched them break out of their shells, learn to walk, and heard their chirps. They've done baby chick themed activities and had opportunities to care for their (temporary) class pets. These Mustangs are making memories to last a lifetime.

Mrs. Cranfill's class had special visitors today. Don Vick and Hank Cranfill explained how they used math skills in their careers! This helps students understand that their skills learned now, will impact them in the future!

Centers fun in Mrs. Watson's class! These Mustangs are mastering lots of fine motor skills, crafts, and letter work! Good job, tiny friends! 🪁🧸

It's Homecoming day for DCHS! 5th grade had the opportunity to walk to the parade route to watch(and get candy of course!)🦅❤️ We had a wonderful time seeing current and former Mustangs souring today!

It's Boss' Day! We are so thankful for our EH admin team. See pictures of our hallway signage each grade level made. 🤩 The work our principals do each day is remarkable and we are so grateful for them!

Time for an Earthquake drill!! As part of the national "Great American Shake Out" initiative, students and staff practiced procedures for a natural emergency. The drill is conducted each year on 10/16 at 10:16am. The Mustangs did a great job! 👏🏼

Here's a few upcoming Trunk-or-Treat opportunities for our families who celebrate Halloween. 🎃 See each individual flyer for details and contact organization hosts if you have any questions.

Mr. Chris' class worked on measuring and pattern skills with a delicious twist. They created layered dirt cups (made of Oreos and pudding)! Skills practiced AND a snack? That's a win-win. 😋

Thank you Mr. Ike and Del City Kiwanis Club for their donation of two bikes this morning! Their dropoff is part of the BUGS program, which encourages students to bring up their grades. Throughout the year students will earn entries into the drawing for the bikes. We are grateful for their generosity and encouragement this provides our Mustangs. 🚲

Ms. Manning's class is wrapping up their "entertainment" category of writing. To practice, the students wrote spooky themed stories this week. Today, they sat in a circle and had the opportunity to share their writing with classmates. These 4th graders did an excellent job!

Thank you Dr. Jason Bannister and The Mary Bannister Foundation for recognizing the immense difference educators make each day. 💜 Join us in celebrating Ms. Shaw as the Teacher of the Month! Ms. Shaw is incredible at what she does and is irreplaceable here at EH. We are beyond grateful for her!

Our main office created these themed menus to make your breakfast and lunch choices easy peasy! 🎃
