Last Friday, May 22nd, a group of Leadership students, as part of their School Improvement Project, created, organized, and led an “8th Grade Send-Off” ceremony for the future Class of 2030!
The ceremony began with an opening address from Principal Mr. Adam Kedley, followed by a speech from staff-elected speaker Mr. Wes Dolphin. Each member of the 8th grade class was recognized as their name was read along with what they are looking forward to over the next 10 years. Students also received a handwritten note from a staff member and a class bracelet.
A speech was then given by selected student Ellie Auderer, followed by a video featuring some of their middle school memories. The ceremony concluded with closing remarks and a class photo.
We could not be more proud of the Leadership students who organized this event! It was such a wonderful send-off to celebrate our 8th grade students and all that lies ahead for them.
Leadership Students: Tori Kress, Gretta Hefel, Cloie McDermott, Maya Danielson, Ellie Auderer, and Ella Astgen

Last Friday, May 15th, the 7th graders went on their class field trip to Maquoketa Caves! Students hiked, participated in team-building activities, and explored the caves. Did you know that Maquoketa Caves State Park in Jackson County, Iowa, is one of the state’s most unique natural attractions, with more caves than any other Iowa park?

DMS Yearbooks will be distributed next week during Bobcat Time!
This year 6th graders attended Camp Little Cloud for a three-day outdoor education. On this field trip, the students went fishing, tie-dyed shirts, had outdoor cooking classes, and made pie/pizza sandwiches along with many more fun things. Today we had the Epworth fire department come out and showed the students their equipment and talked about lawn mower safety among other useful information. The ladies from the University of Iowa came to talk about ATV safety practices as well. We appreciate the volunteers who helped make this experience happen! We hope the students had a great time participating in this wonderful event. (written by Journalis students: Samantha T, Lacey M, Lainey K) #drexlerma #wdbqschools

We had a fun assembly this past Friday to celebrate all of the growth this year on ISASP testing at DMS! 🎉🥧
Any student who showed growth on the ISASP assessments in ELA, Math, and Science had their names entered into a drawing. Three names were selected from each grade level — 6th, 7th, and 8th grade — and those students earned the chance to pie a staff member in the face! 😄
To add even more fun to the celebration, a few of our leadership students also volunteered to get pied! Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to all of our students for their hard work and growth this year! 👏🐾
