Last day of school for the 2008 school year! Thank-you to all, for your support and cooperation in making the first half of the year a success. Also, thank you for the precious children you send us each day.

I wish you all a safe, happy, and family centered Winter Break. (Dec. 20-Jan. 4)

Upon our return on Jan. 5, we will jump right into DIBELS and the preparation for Parent Conferences. Be watching for more information coming home upon our return.

Happy New Year 2009!

What a treat!

Two Desert Trails' Choir performances and a night of celebration by the Desert Trails' Band.
The student's joy and talent ignited the audience; at the Marriott, Sunset Canyon, and Desert Trails.
Thank you to our excellent instructors who keep the Fine Arts alive at Desert Trails: Mr. Mark Stolper (band) and Mrs. Debbie Lindley (choir).

Those of us who were able to come out for these special events are well on our way to a music filled Winter Break!!!

What a great opportunity to have Jamie Roberson visit Desert Trails this week. Jamie is in the PV AIM program and is looking forward to a future as an elementary administrator.
She is visiting D.T. to observe the daily operations, meetings, and functions of an elementary school principal.
How fun it was to hear our excellent choir at the Marriott last night. The student's sounded beautiful. I am certainly in the holiday spirit now! Thank you Mrs. Lindley & Choir!!!
Congratulations to those who participated in the Cross Country event tonight. It was great to see so many families and students. Coach E. has been working extra hard to get students prepared and by the results tonight it is evident his hard work and each student's paid off.
Such a busy week, but a wonderful time to celebrate our children.
Don't miss the Desert Trail's Choir presentation, Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 6:30 @ D.T.
It will be another fun night to share together!
