Dieterich Elementary students proved to their principal that they are outstanding readers!
Elementary Principal Josh Benefiel struck a deal with his students. If they read more than 60,0000 minutes in February, Mr. Benefiel would allow the student to tape him to the wall.
The students were up to the challenge, and read more than 80,000 minutes, earning them the victory over their principal.
The challenge was part of the Reach For The Stars reading program.
Well done super star readers!
Congratulations to Taylor Curry for signing a letter of intent to play volleyball at Missouri Valley College. We are very proud of you and wish you the best of luck in the future!

Dear Parents of High School and Junior High band(marching band and
flags), basketball, baseball,cheerleading,cross country, dance, scholar
bowl, softball, trap team and volleyball players,
It is time for the Sportbackers to begin the annual soap sales! The
Sportsbackers help support students involved in junior high and high school
band (marching band and flags), basketball, baseball, cheerleading, cross
country, dance, scholar bowl, softball, trap, and volleyball. With the help of
fundraisers, the Sportsbackers have been able to give funds to each of
these groups. With these funds, they have been able to purchase items to
help in practice and games.
Order forms for soap sales will be sent home with the students. Please
collect payment at the time of the order. The sales will take place from
February 21st to March 11th, with an approximate delivery date one week
to 10 days after all orders are turned in. We ask that all students involved in
the listed sports/activities participate in these sales.
The Sportsbackers appreciate all of the help we get from the parents,
grandparents, friends, family and the community. Without your help, we
would not be able to keep these sports and activities alive! If you have any
questions, feel free to contact any of the Sportsbackers board members or
by reaching out to our facebook page.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
