It’s been a busy semester for our Dolphins! 🐬 We had a family game night - carnival style - and it was a hit! Thank you to all of the families and students who came out to participate. Huge shoutout to the staff, volunteers, and sponsors for making it possible! 🫶

The results are in, & the conclusion is clear: Mrs. Smith is the DRMS TOY! 🏆 This incredible 6th Grade Science teacher doesn’t just teach the facts, she sparks curiosity & lights the path of discovery for every student. We’re beyond proud to honor the impact she makes daily! ✨

Our 6th grade dolphins had a very special visitor today! 📚 Students were delighted to learn about author Kwame Mbalia’s writing process, sources of inspiration, and hilarious stories along the way. Special thanks to Page 158 Books for arranging the visit!

This was a fantastic training! I reconnected with some of my favorite WCPSS educators and met some new friends along the way! So many practical tools to increase student & staff engagement!
I’ve had two WONDERFUL days working with @WakeSecondary educators near Raleigh, North Carolina on @KaganOnline Cooperative Learning Days 1 & 2 workshops! They did amazing with planning for the use of Kagan Everyone Answers Pair and Team Structures with their students!
