🚨🔥🌪️ We had our first fire and tornado drills of the school year! 🚨🔥🌪️
Each semester, schools are required to practice:
✅ 2 fire drills
✅ 2 tornado drills
✅ 1 lockdown drill
And every other year, we also practice a lockdown and evacuation drill.
Safety is one of our top priorities and aligns with our Bobcat Strong value: We Are Safe ❤️🐾.
Our students did an amazing job today—way to go, Bobcats! 👏✨
💡 Parent Tip: This is a great time to review your family’s home safety plan together, so kids feel confident both at school and at home. 🏡❤️

The winning team reached an impressive 20 inches off the desk! 🎉👏
So proud of our creative and determined 4th graders! 💡💪

"Preschoolers had a fun and educational day with a special visit from a baby calf and a combine! 🐄🚜 They even got to see their classmate, Lane, bottle feeding the calf, making the experience even more memorable! 🌟
It was a great opportunity to learn about life on the farm and see firsthand how things work in the agricultural world. A huge thank you to Cody and Lisa Weber, parents of Lane, for making this incredible experience possible and bringing the farm right to our school! 🌾❤️ #wdbqschools #desbobcats
