Deer Park Middle School students got the opportunity this week to earn a trip to the Spokane Valley Mall for strong academics and positive behavior. These students maintained all C's or higher, no tardies, and no referrals for a quarter, which earned them a Plus Card. A Plus Card entitles the holder to a myriad of special responsibilities and privileges. Students who got to go on this field trip had to have a Plus Card, Spike Bucks to enter the drawing, and/or have a friend who had been drawn (as each drawing winner got to bring a friend). These hard-working students got to spend the day at the mall, shopping and having fun!

This year, local churches and Architerra Home joined together in providing gifts for Deer Park students. With the help of some staff members, high school students, and a volunteer from one of the churches, all the gifts have been wrapped and distributed to the schools. The generosity has been truly amazing to see!

Deer Park Rotary was proud to recognize our Student of the Month, Connor Hallgarth, from Deer Park FFA at today’s meeting! 🙌 With 4 years in FFA, he’s built a custom aluminum fuel tank for his truck in the shop, earned his FFA State Degree and is already working toward his American Degree. When he’s not active in FFA or the trapshooting club, you’ll find him running equipment in the hay fields—baling, stacking, and delivering. After graduation, he plans to pursue a career in diesel mechanics. 🚜🔧👏

Deer Park FFA also presented at Rotary and shared the many options and activities associated with FFA! Way to go, DPHS!

Our fourth graders at Deer Park Arcadia have been learning all about poetry!
Students are learning that poetry is a type of writing that uses creative words, feelings, and imagination to paint a picture in the reader’s mind. They are also learning that poems don’t always have to rhyme, but they often do, and that they use vivid details and strong images. To put their learning into practice, students wrote their own haikus that follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.
