We have some seriously happy second-grade Hornets in Mrs. Walters' class this week!
After writing letters to the teams they drafted for their NFL Elementary unit, we received some incredible swag back from the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers!
Huge thanks to both organizations for supporting our students! This unit has been a blast—our students are researching cities, tracking stats, and learning about organizational history. Talk about engaging!

Deep Creek Central Elementary Rocks!🎸
Tomorrow, September 26th, our school will be participating in "Rock Your School," a global movement that celebrates creative and engaging learning!
Our teachers have been planning exciting, "outside-the-box" lessons and activities to make learning more fun and dynamic for our students.
This is a fantastic way to show our Hornets that school is a place they want to be, full of discovery and exploration. We are so proud of our teachers for bringing such passion and energy to their classrooms!
Don't forget to "Rock Your School" with us by dressing up like a rockstar tomorrow! We can't wait to see all the creative outfits.

Looks good enough to eat! 🧁 Our amazing fourth-grade artists are channeling their inner Pop Art masters, inspired by the one and only Wayne Thiebaud! Known for his sweet paintings of cakes, pies, and pastries, Thiebaud's work is the perfect inspiration for these colorful three-dimensional projects. It's safe to say these masterpieces are a real treat to see!

Ms. Waterfield's 2nd graders had a delicious time learning about place value 🥨🍫
Our students used snacks to build models of ones, tens, and hundreds. It's amazing what a little creativity (and some tasty treats!) can do for a math lesson!

🔎Today, our 5th graders became "scientists" for a glowing experiment!
🧪 They investigated how water temperature affects the shine of a glow stick, and the results were illuminating. It was a bright day of hands-on learning and discovery! ✨ #HandsOnLearning #ScienceExperiment #FutureScientists #DCCE

We got one! 🚨
Shout out to this awesome parent who finally returned their '𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡' sign from 2024-2025! We were just about to send a search party. 😉
Just kidding (mostly)! If your Hornet was Student of the Month for the month last school year, those signs are yours to keep! We'll have brand new ones for the new school year.
Thanks for sharing the fun, Hornet families! We love seeing those smiles. 💜
