The 6th graders went on the annual DMS Camp Little Cloud trip last week! While at camp, the students got an experience filled with adventure, teamwork, and lots of fun! The students got to explore the great outdoors, bond over the campfire, make tie-dye shirts, make dream catchers, make handmade soap, learn about archery, do some outdoor cooking, along with many other activities. We hope the students had an experience that was all about learning, growing, and making memories to last a lifetime! #drexlerms #wdbqschools
The Dubuque County Sheriff K-9 officer came to DMS yesterday to put on a demonstration for our 6th graders. Very interesting! Thank you, Officer Harward, we appreciate your time!

The 7th grade students at Drexler Middle School have recently been making a project or an invention for the 7th grade science fair. The purpose of this is to let them use the science skills and methods they have learned, improve a product, or create a new invention. For their project or invention, they need a testable question, the variables they used, materials and equipment , their procedure, the data, the conclusion, and the reflection. #drexlerms #wdbqschools
