EVERY student in Mrs. Worman’s 4th grade class received the “No Late Homework All School Year” award. We are so proud of these students for showing responsibility to receive this extremely difficult award. Also, a huge thank you to our parents for supporting their children at home. This is the first time in Mrs. Worman's 13 years of teaching that this has happened!


Dieterich Elementary kids (K-6th grade) have been working hard to earn red tickets during the 3rd and 4th quarters. For every test the kids took for Accelerated Reader and got an 85-100 percent they could earn a ticket to put into a drawing for a bike. Both of the buckets were almost full! Thank you to the Masonic Lodge (Peyton Winterrowd pictured) in Dieterich for offering this opportunity to our school. Ryland Mellendorf in 3rd grade won the boys bike and Vivianne Englebart 4th grade won the girls bike.
