Spring has Sprung/AIMS/Poetry/Fine Arts

I want to take the chance to wish each family a wonderful Spring Break! We will look for everyone on Monday, April 4th!

AIMS reminders: Grades 2-6 Dates~ April 10-15. To create the best testing environment as possible we will not be having K-6 parent helpers, K-6 volunteers during AIMS. We want to provide every child the opportunity to do their best with the least interruptions as possible. We also ask that you not make or to please reschedule appointments during the week of AIMS that would cause your student to come/go or arrive late. Our testing protocol takes all students into account for the best results.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Also, a good breakfast and restful night's sleep is always helpful when students need to be at their best!


Desert Trails Poetry Contest was hosted by our Reading Specialist, Mrs. Bier. This morning on live Morning Broadcast each grade level winner 1-5 read their winning poem to the entire school!
WINNERS: Wesley J. in 1st grade/ Matt M. in 2nd grade/ Jansen M. in 3rd grade/ Ashley P. in 4th grade/ Bryce H. in 5th grade!!! Each winner received a brand new journal and mechanical pencil to keep writing those winning poems! CONGRATULATIONS!

Desert Trail's Fine Arts program was highlighted last week at PVMall~ Band, Strings, Choir and Student Art work, all showcased the many talents our students have. Instructors- Mr. Stolper, Ms. Brooksby, Mrs. Linsley, and Ms. Parent are to be recognized for their hard work and dedication.
