What a great way to bring 5th grade to an end... things CHANGE when people take action. Students consider unfair treatment as they reflected on how barriers can be removed when people change the way they think.

Have you heard people talking about Dater's Undercover Spirit Week? Students are starting to realize something silly is going on at Dater! To celebrate the end of the year, each day, teachers are participating in a mystery spirit day, and students have to guess what it is. Monday started off with "Anything but a cup" Day. Teachers walked the hallways drinking beverages out of pineapples, blenders, and baby bottles! Stay tuned for more theme days...

To wrap up an amazing Field Day at Dater School, students took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge for mental health awareness! By donating $1โ€“$5, they cast their votes for which teacher would get icedโ€”and the results were both chilly and unforgettable! A fun, meaningful way to cool off and support a great cause. ๐Ÿ’ง๐ŸงŠ๐Ÿ’™
