Greetings Dyersville Elementary Families,

Sincerely,
Mrs. Hillebrand
❤️ During our Bobcat Service Day in May, our amazing 4th-grade students put together military care packages for three family members of Dyersville Elementary staff who are currently serving our country. 📦✉️
The students included thoughtful notes, tasty treats, and even created word puzzles to help brighten their days. 😊
We recently received these pictures and videos thanking our students for their kindness, generosity, and support. It was so special for our students to see the impact their efforts had on those serving far from home. 💙⭐
A huge thank you to our military members for their service and sacrifice, and to our 4th graders for showing what it means to be Bobcat Strong through acts of kindness and gratitude! 🐾❤️🤍💙

🎓⚾ A few of our seniors joined our second graders for recess today and had an absolute blast playing kickball and Gaga ball! 🛝😄
It was so special watching the interactions between our seniors and students as they laughed, played, and enjoyed recess together — just like when the seniors once played on the same playground themselves. ❤️🖤
We especially loved seeing them running around in their caps and gowns while making memories with our younger Bobcats! 🐾🎓 What a fun reminder that once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat! 🥹✨
⚾🌽 “If you build it, they will come…” and our new kickball field brought some very special visitors! ⚾️✨
Mrs. Oberbroeckling and Mrs. Pillard’s classes had an unforgettable time playing kickball with a couple of “ghost players” straight from the Field of Dreams! The students had an absolute blast laughing, playing, and enjoying all of the silly antics throughout the game! 😆⚾
It was such a fun and memorable experience for our students and one they will be talking about for a long time! ❤️🖤
A very special THANK YOU to Russ Bullibough and Marv Maiers for taking time out of their busy schedules to make this day so special for our kids. We truly appreciate you sharing your time, energy, and playful spirit with our Bobcats! 🐾
Once little feet walked these halls with dreams so big and bright,
And now you leave as graduates, ready to take flight. 🎓✨
Today our students got to see what hard work, dedication, and perseverance truly look like. It was so special to welcome back the WDHS Class of 2026 for their Senior Walk through Dyersville Elementary! ❤️🖤
Congratulations, graduates! Your future is bright, and we are so proud of all you have accomplished. Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat!

The schedule for each grade level will remain the same. If we need to make any location changes due to standing water, that information will be communicated on Monday.
We are excited to see everyone on Tuesday for a fun-filled event! 🎉 Thank you for your flexibility and understanding. We hope this advance notice gives you and your family members time to adjust schedules if needed.
Thank you again for your continued support — we can’t wait for an amazing Color Run! 🖤❤️

We couldn't let the day go by without wishing Mrs. White and Mrs. Atkinson a very happy National School Lunch Hero Day! We love seeing your smiling faces in the lunchroom each day! Thank you for all you do, we appreciate you both! 😊
❤️🐾 Today we celebrate YOU — the heart, hustle, and helping hands behind so much of what makes our school special! 🐾🤍
Paraprofessionals, you are the unsung heroes of education. Your patience, flexibility, and unwavering compassion make a difference in ways that often go unseen—but never unappreciated. You step in wherever needed, lift students up when they struggle, celebrate their victories (big and small), and help create a safe, supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
From guiding learning and building confidence to offering a steady presence each day, your impact is powerful and lasting. Our classrooms simply wouldn’t be the same without you.
Thank you for everything you do—for our students, our staff, and our school community. We are so grateful for you today and every day! ❤️🐾🤍

Oh what a night! ❤️🐾🖤🐾🤍🐾
Dyersville Elementary students, families, relatives, friends, and neighbors all came together for Round 2 of Delaney’s March Madness Scooping Challenge—and what stood out most had nothing to do with the final scoop count. 🍦✨
Tonight was about connection. ❤️ It was about seeing our Bobcat Community show up, laugh together 😂, support one another 🙌, and create memories that go far beyond any competition. Whether behind the counter scooping or cheering from the sidelines 📣, the energy in the room was something truly special. 🖤🤍
I am so grateful to our incredible staff for jumping in, working hard, and having fun (and definitely getting a little workout in along the way! 🍦💪🔥). You brought the energy and the smiles! ❤️
And most importantly, THANK YOU to our families and supporters—you are the heart of everything we do. ❤️🖤🤍 Your support, your presence, and your belief in our school mean more than words can say.
Win or lose, tonight was a powerful reminder that what truly matters is the strength, pride, and connection within our Bobcat Community. 🐾❤️🖤🤍
With sincere gratitude,
Mrs. Hillebrand ❤️
