We love seeing students take pride in their school and that’s exactly what a group of 5th graders at CDIS is doing. Recently they formed a “Clean Up Crew” to help keep the school looking its best! They plan to work outside when the weather is nice and inside when the weather doesn't cooperate. Great idea, Sabers! Thank you to DeWitt Bank & Trust Co. who sponsor the group and donated tools for yard work!

CDHS Principal Mr. Pickup and Guidance Counselor Mrs. Schaible took over running the office this afternoon so administrative professionals Rachel Grager, Becky Green and Toni Gassmann could relax and enjoy their lunch from Urban Eats. Mr. Pickup said although it’s Administrative Professionals Day, it should be called “Boss’s Day” because these three are really the bosses of him! 😂

As part of their living systems unit, CDIS 5th graders visited the high school greenhouse to learn more about what plants need to grow and opportunities they will have to work with plants in middle and high school. CDHS Agricultural Science Teacher Amy Grantz did a fabulous job teaching students about the purpose of the greenhouse and what variables can be controlled when growing plants.
Students were highly engaged and excited to have this opportunity. We are lucky to have teachers across grade levels and buildings work together to provide interesting and unique learning experiences for our students.
