A HUGE shoutout and thank you to Sexy Pizza for welcoming our 1st grade Crew into your shoppe to show us what tools you use to make your delicious pizzas! Ryan’s crew learned that the oven and a “spoodle” are some of the most important tools they can’t go without when making the perfect pie! The best part was they got to make their own pizzas, and then eat their labor of love. 🍕⚒️🪚🎨🥧

Gabi’s Crew understood the assignment! Our 5th graders took over Community Circle this morning for their Crew Talent Show- on none other than “Wrong Occasion” themed day. Gabi’s crew brought the energy and kept us all entertained! Community Circle is all about building confidence, celebrating each other, and being Crew.

Rainy weather? No problem for Katie’s Crew! 🌧️🏕️

Our 3rd graders headed to Golden Gate Canyon State Park for an epic camping trip at Pickle Gulch. The weather may not have cooperated, but these kids are TOUGH! They braved the rain, hiked through the beautiful aspen trees, played by the lake, built forts, climbed rocks, and warmed up with Curtis’s specialty spaghetti and meatballs.

Adventure isn’t always sunshine and blue skies — and that’s part of what makes these trips so special. Our kids learn how to stick together, stay positive, help each other out, and be Crew even when things get a little wet and muddy.

Way to go, Katie’s Crew! 💙🐻 We are Crew, not passengers.

A little from our first Community Circle of the year! 💙🐻

Our 5th grade Blue Bear Leadership Team (BLT) officially took the lead, running their first Community Circle as the leaders of our school - and our staff kicked off the year by showing off some pretty impressive (and hilarious) talents!

DDES Family Council also hosted their first Coffee Mingle of the year. Thanks to all the parents and families who came out to connect and join our Crew!

Community Circle is one of our favorite DDES traditions — bringing our whole school community together to celebrate, laugh, lead, and build Crew.

Come join us for our next Community Circle this Friday at 8:30am, where Gabi’s Crew will be taking the stage and showing off their talents!

We are Crew, not passengers!

Gabi’s Crew took on Great Sand Dunes National Park for an EPIC 5th grade camping trip! 🏕️

They climbed (and climbed 😅), sledded down the dunes, buried each other in the sand, camped together, laughed a LOT, and made some pretty unforgettable memories.

There’s really no better way to build Crew than getting outside your comfort zone, taking on an adventure together, and having a whole lot of fun along the way.

We are Crew, not passengers. 💙
