It has been a busy week at Dewey Elementary. Dewey Impact has been writing thank you cards, creating sucker bouquets (orders due Monday), making posters for businesses, started the Pennies for Patience Drive (more information tomorrow), and made welcome bags for new students. We had a full week of school, rewards celebrated, made finals touches on memoirs, learned about fractions, fractions and more fractions, made final touches for Parent Retreat (it is going to be AMAZING), celebrated National Counselor Week and much more. #dewey45

Dewey Impact's Smile Infraction group were out and about today to spread ideas of how to be thoughtful. They put idea postcards on car windshields. One student said, "If only one person uses the card to do something extra that is nice today, our day is good." The students are split into groups based on how many students fit in the car. The rest of this committee will go out another day. #dewey45
