Spring Carnival Time
Friday was an excellent day at DME! We had a wonderful day at school and then topped the week off with our annual Spring Carnival. Our Carnival is special because of our "Cow Drop." I won't go into the details of describing this event, but if you haven't ever been to one, mark your calendar for next year's event. It will surely be an enlightening experience. We also had inflatables, confections, games, a silent auction, a yard sale, and various vendors. Our award-winning Chorus performed some of their songs from their Carowinds Festival. I had the great opportunity to mingle with parents, students, and grandparents, as well as business partners and community members who came to enjoy in our festivities. This event is yearly organized by our unbelievably supportive PTA. This year, our president, Karen Dewey, led the fanfare, and we are appreciative for her leadership. Past and present members of our PTA and SIC also attended to help in the organizing and planning of the event. I cannot thank them enough for their great spirit of volunteerism. I know that the smiles on the childrens' faces served as ample gratification! In addition to the aforementioned events, Mr. DeWitt, Mrs. Long, and Mrs. Michelle Clark were voted on by our students to ride the mechanical bull. Whew....I was off the hook this year!
