David City Public Schools

To wrap up their unit on Native American cultures Bellwood Elementary 3rd grade students created posters about different Native Americans from different regions. Then to celebrate each student brought something from their own cultural background.

The regular matches for spring Esports are complete, and playoffs begin next week! Things are looking good for our seeds.

Last night, we proudly welcomed our newest National Honor Society members—students who lead with integrity, excel academically, serve their community, and inspire others with their exceptional character. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement!

What a great way to celebrate the end of 3rd Quarter at David City Elementary! 🎉

We kicked off our celebration in the gym recognizing some of our amazing students who earned Attendance Awards, Golden Tickets, and Positive Tickets. We are so proud of the hard work, kindness, and dedication our students show every day!

After the assembly, students headed back to their camp groups where they enjoyed some fun games and activities together. It was a great time filled with teamwork, laughter, and lots of smiles! 😄

To finish the celebration, students took time to make cards for members of our community to help spread kindness and appreciation beyond our school walls. ❤️

It was a wonderful way to wrap up the quarter and celebrate all the great things happening at DCE. Way to go, students!

Mrs. Meusch's Ag Education classes and FFA members have been busy getting the greenhouse ready for sales in May! Students have learned how to prepare the greenhouse, plant the plugs and daily plant care, while also seeing the business planning side of a greenhouse. Official open dates will be announced soon!

Schedule Update:
District Speech start time has been moved to 10:00 AM.

When Edgerton Explore It Center came to Bellwood Elementary for our Science Discovery Day, all grade levels participated in different labs. The 2nd through 5th grade students made stomp rockets and launched them on the playground. The 3rd through 5th grade students made spacesuits for their Mallonauts (marshmallows) and got to test to see if they were safe in a vacuum. Thanks again to the Bellwood PTO for this amazing opportunity for our students.

During Bellwood Elementary's Science Discovery Day with Edgerton on the Move, grade levels participated in different labs and demonstrations. All preschool through 1st grade students participated in a density tubes lab where each student made their own lava tube. Preschool through 2nd grade students participated in a bubbles demonstration where many students got to go inside a bubble. Thanks again to the Bellwood PTO for providing these opportunities for our students.

Bellwood Elementary had an "OUT OF THIS WORLD" final day of the 3rd quarter. Students and staff participated in a Science Discovery Day from Edgerton on the Move. Many of the activities had to do with outer space to go with our theme for the year. A BIG THANKS goes to the Bellwood PTO for funding this event and volunteering your time to make it happen. During the Science Discovery Day there was an Explore it Zone set up in the gym and all students participated in two whole school demonstrations. During these demonstrations, many students were able to volunteer to help with the demonstration.

🏀 Dribble Club Update! 🏀

Dribble Club will be wrapping up on Thursday, March 19th! We encourage all students who have been participating to attend next week Tuesday–Thursday from 7:20–7:50 a.m. to finish the season strong.

This has been a great opportunity for our students to get active, practice their basketball skills, and start the day with some fun movement before school. We’ve loved seeing the energy, effort, and improvement each morning!

We would also like to give a big thank you to the teachers who volunteer their time in the mornings to make this opportunity possible for our students. Your time and dedication are greatly appreciated! 👏

Let’s finish Dribble Club with a great turnout next week. We hope to see lots of students there! 🏀✨
