First graders are finishing up their science unit on the surface of the earth this week by completing stations. They enjoyed making models of the layers of the earth using playdoh! Other activities include making "edible soil," collecting and painting rocks, and creating a chain of natural resources. Picture is Mrs. Field's class with their earth layer models.
DJHS 8th graders had the opportunity to learn more about Abraham Lincoln, the military, and state government through a trip to Springfield today.
The morning started with a visit to Lincoln's Tomb followed by a tour of the Illinois State Military Museum. The volunteers there were great, teaching students about equipment from the Vietnam and Iraq Wars. The next stop was the highly interactive Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum.
The final stop was the State Capitol building. During the visit, students got to interact with both Sen. Chapin Rose as well as Rep. Adam Niemerg. Students also got to go on the senate floor and sit in the "fancy" seats.
Students were very respectful and appreciative of everyone that made the trip great.
Last night we hosted the Jr. High Activity Banquet. Thank you to all the players, coaches, and parents that made this year such a success!
Huge thank you to Mrs. Ruholl's 8th hour class for making cookies. And to the 7th grade PE class for cleaning and setting up the cafeteria for the banquet!

Dieterich FFA member, sophomore, Weston Goebel, was recently named the High Individual Overall at the Illinois Association FFA State Poultry Evaluation CDE. Weston is the son of Greg and Krystal Goebel.
Weston and his teammates traveled to the University of Illinois on Saturday, March 7th for competition and Goebel walked away 1st Overall out of 138 competitors and 33 teams from across the state. This is the first time in Dieterich School history that a member from our chapter achieved these honors at State Poultry. Competitors were tasked with evaluating live production birds, ready to cook carcass grading, exterior egg grading/defects identification, interior egg grading, parts identification, bone-in and boneless product grading, and a 25-question test. As a team, Dieterich FFA ended with a superior rating of 5th Overall with only 22 points separating them from the high team overall. Team members included Weston Goebel, Taylor Koester, Eli Niemerg, Skylar Russell, & Kinley Will. Weston will be recognized for this accomplishment in June at Illinois Association FFA State Convention where he will take the stage in front of thousands of FFA members to be recognized and receive his plaque. Great job Weston and team representing Dieterich FFA and Dieterich Unit #30!
