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! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #cleanupcrew #saberpride #saberssucceeding
