Saying "goodbye" is never easy-- especially when they aren't just incredible coworkers, but incredible teammates who have become like family! We had a staff breakfast this past Friday to honor and celebrate Sandy Waller and Merle Besler on their upcoming and much-deserved retirement. Sandy served our district for the past 22 years, with the past 15 being at Drexler! Merle served our district for the past 10 years, with the past 6 of them also at Drexler! Sandy will be retiring from her role as the DMS Kitchen Manager and Merle will be retiring from his role as DMS Lead Custodian. Sandy and Merle are both unsung heroes who both work tirelessly behind the scenes, to keep our students and staff fed, smiling, and ready to learn or teach each day in a safe, clean and well-maintained school. All of us at DMS will miss you both and we wish you best of luck in your future endeavors!

On May 22nd, Mr. Bergan's class joined leadership students from Mr. Davidson's class for a Peer Pathways Fishing and Hiking Day at the Dyersville Sportsmans Club. Fish were caught, connections were made, and fun was had! Special thanks to our paraprofessionals for being there to support this great event! (Mr. Bergan even got to enjoy some time on the play equipment with the students!) #drexlerms #wdbqschools
