Happy Friday DKMS Parents! It has been another exciting week here at the middle school.

Our fifth grade students went to Sherman Lake Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to overnight camp. Our students and staff had an excellent time at Sherman Lake and did a phenomenal job representing DKMS! A special congratulations goes out to Brayden Lutz and Charleigh Loveland for winning the HCRR Award for being honest, caring, respectful, and responsible while at camp. Way to go Panthers!

Congratulations to Haley Seagle for being our "No Tardies" drawing winner this week. Haley won a new Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet. Keep up the great work!

This week all of our students received books from Books Are Fun. I would like to thank our ELA teacher Jen Ferguson for all of her hard work in bringing this opportunity to the middle school. Enjoy your new books Panthers!

We will have our first day of mandatory state testing on Wednesday April 17th. 8th graders will be taking the PSAT and our 5th, 6th, and 7th graders will be taking the M-STEP. To make sure our students perform up to their abilities we ask they do the following:

1. Please attend school each day
2. Get a good night's rest
3. Eat a healthy breakfast
4. Bring a fully charged Chromebook to school each day
5. Bring their Chromebook charger to school each day

As always I would like to thank our staff, students, families, and community for all of their hard work in making Delton Kellogg Schools a great place to be!

Just can't hide that PANTHER PRIDE!!!
