A sweet treat for some sweet acts of kindness! 🍩 Our 3rd grade Kindness Group at DEES enjoyed doughnuts as a thank-you for their hard work each morning. These students go above and beyond to help and support our younger students during arrival, and we couldn’t be prouder of their leadership and kindness! 💛

From our school family to yours!
At Dawn Elser Elementary, our 1st graders had a wonderful time welcoming parents to school for a special project! In November, we focused on gratitude and explored what it means to be thankful. Together with their parents or guardians, students created "thankful plates," beautifully decorated to show what they're most grateful for. ❤️
Our 2nd graders have truly impressed us! They worked hard researching animals, crafting detailed informative essays, and creating vibrant dioramas to showcase their learning. They shared their amazing work with students, staff, and their parents or guardians all in one day. Fantastic job, 2nd grade! 🐾📚🌿✨
Today is National Substitute Teacher Appreciation Day! We are so grateful for the subs who save our days by filling a teachers absence! If you are interested in being a sub for our district, please contact Clare at district office 618-632-6336!
This Thanksgiving we give thanks with a grateful heart for every one of our families. We have only 2 days next week before much needed time with families!
Dr. Jesse Jackson III visits 6th and 8th grade today expressing it pays to get A's!
Our second graders had an exciting visit from Tye-Dyed Iguana! The live animal presentation brought their science and reading lessons to life as they explored how animals survive, their habitats, and their unique needs.
🎨🐢 The students are now inspired and can't wait to create their own animal habitat dioramas later this month. Learning is truly an adventure at Dawn Elser Elementary! 📚✨
🏃♀️💪 A big shoutout to our 3rd grade Girls on the Run team as they prepare for tomorrow’s big race! 🎉 Each girl received her post-run treat bag today—just a little something to celebrate all your hard work. Good luck tomorrow, and most importantly, enjoy the run! 👏💖
