Poem by Billy Seubert

I want to be a good person so I will be a good friend.
I don’t do drugs because they make you sick.
I want to do a lot of sports and be a fireman. They do not do drugs. --Billy

Poem by Jack Larsen (Kindergarten)

I promise to not litter or to do drugs. I promise to like any basketball player that I like. I promise never to say bad words or to do bad things. And I promise to listen to my teacher Ms. Staab. If I don't do drugs I can grow up to be a policeman, a construction guy, or an artist. I like to carve pumpkins so I promise not to leave garbage anywhere. I like things that are healthy like homemade hamburgers, hot cereal, cold cereal and raisins and stuff. I promise to write with a pencil for the stuff Ms. Staab tells us to do with a pencil. --Jack

RED RIBBON WEEK

DPM celebrated National Red Ribbon Week last week, which is a time to promote healthy choices and drug & alchohol prevention. Hopefully you caught a glimpse of some of the items your child brought home; red wristband (worn all week), book mark, pledge card and ribbon.

Thank You to all the parent and student volunteers that helped facilitate the fun lunchtime activities for our DPM students. A big thank you also goes out to all the students that participated in these activities. We have some wonderful banners in the hallways and office area, as well as an impressive paper chain in the lunch room because of their efforts. DPM ROCKS DRUG FREE!!!

Be sure to visit the blog regularly to see the creative poems written by some of the students. All students that submitted poetry will receive a certificate on Friday to Chick-Fil-A for a free milkshake. When you visit Chick-Fil-A on Alta Arden, don’t forget to thank them for their generous donation to our school!
