Blanche Dodd Elementary School

We held our first Bump It Up Day this year. Each class moved to the next grade level to meet the teachers and hear about the fun things they can expect in the next school year. As everyone moved up, the 5th grade students moved down. They joined the kindergarten teachers to reminisce on their earliest years in school and write letters to the incoming kindergarten students. We are excited to see what the next school year will bring!

The 5th grade bash is the celebration of our students elementary years. The weather didn’t allow us to be outside all day, but we just moved the fun inside. They were able to get in a kick ball game and water balloon fight between the showers. Congratulations to our 5th grade students! 💙🐾

These students received a “Paws”itive Office Referral for demonstrating the six pillars of character that Dodd students live by. They were able to make a positive phone call home or just wait and surprise their family that evening. We are so proud of these students that consistently demonstrate excellent behavior and serve as a role model for others. 💙🐾

The 2nd grade Market Day is an annual event for students to create products which are sold to school staff and other students using play money. Students learn financial skills such as adding, subtracting, and making change. Concepts such as supply and demand are included, and the important skill of customer service is learned. The students created and sold such unique products, and in turn, they were able to shop with the money they earned.

The Dodd Fine Arts Night was a hit!! Kindergarten students performed a baseball themed musical production under the direction of music teacher, Mrs. Lawson with guest narrator, Principal Bolz. PreK students shared their artwork while the 3rd grade students put on a Living Museum to share many facts about the historical figures they researched. Finally, all K-5 “trash to art” sculptures were on display for viewing. It was a great culmination to several months of preparation!
