DGS Celebrates Homecoming Week
Dunlap Grade School has had a busy week celebrating Homecoming in its own way. The week started with daily dress up days that centered on the theme “Sir Read-a-Lot.” Students were seen dressing as dragons, princesses, princes, kings and queens. They wore their Royal Robes and Pajamas or silly hats. A highlight of the week included our fall book fair. Grandparents were invited to attend a special grand event. At the event, grandparents joined our students at lunch time and shopped at the book fair. During this special time, they were serenaded by the Dunlap High School Madrigal Singers! We had nearly 200 grandparents at DGS to celebrate! Later in the week, we held an evening book fair. Students perused books with family members and supported the purchase of birthday books! Students met their reading goals that will result in principal, Mandy Ellis, scaling the “castle walls” of DGS! Teachers were also selected to “joust” with pool noodles to earn books for their classrooms. Concluding the festivities was a visit from the DHS Marching Band! Their performance included selections from their homecoming routine! We look forward to participating in the parade this afternoon. The week was jam packed with fun and learning, but the result was more books in the hands of our students and classroom libraries!
