Dieck Elementary School

🐝🐞 Buzzing with creativity! This week in Art Club, our Dieck students had a blast making adorable bumble bee and ladybug outdoor decorations. Their imagination and hard work really brought these little critters to life! Great job, artists! 🎨🌼

🇺🇸❤️💙 Shoutout to Mrs. Palmer’s class for honoring Memorial Day in style! Students created patriotic hats to show respect and gratitude for the brave men and women who served our country.

Our Dragons hit the road today for a special trip to the Whiting Auditorium to see Charlotte’s Web come to life on stage! The performance was full of creativity, music, and heart—and our students were captivated from start to finish.
