Wow! Look at all of these
gingerbread houses! If you are wondering why there is a gingerbread house
in this picture, it is because second grade was making them! Some of the second
graders said that their favorite candies were the Airhead Extremes, Red Hots
and gumdrops. Many parents came to help and provided the candy. Thank you
parents for coming to help second graders have the time of their lives! Published 1-14-2010

Books, books, and even
more books!!! Mrs. Phillips’s class from Dunn Elementary read over 300 books
for the Scholastic Book’s Classroom Cares Program. The goal for the class
was to read 100 books, but they tripled their score! The competition
started in November and ended on December 15th. Mrs. Phillips' class wanted
to do this because when they read the books, Scholastic Book’s Classroom
Cares Program donated books to needy children. Way to go Mrs. Phillips' class!! Published 1-7-2010

Do you like
music? Well, Dunn Elementary does. We had music in the air all week. Bailey’s
Orchestra played classic songs such as Charlie Brown’s Christmas, Frosty
the Snowman, and even told the story of Twas’ the Night Before Christmas.
Most teachers and students liked Charlie Brown’s Christmas better than
any other song. Close to the end, Bailey’s Orchestra Captains convinced
Dunn’s students to join the orchestra. Everybody enjoyed having Bailey’s
orchestra and can’t wait until they have another concert. Published 1/6/ 2010

“Oh no! It is Christmas
Eve and I have nothing to wear!” said Santa, one of the characters in Dunn’s
Third Grade Christmas play. “ All of the third graders worked very
hard and memorized their lines for the play,” said Mrs. Holder, a third
grade teacher. It brought back memories from third grade when we were doing
this play. This very exciting play was about Santa losing his suit and all
of the characters from different holidays came and tried to help. Many parents
were there, and they enjoyed the show that featured their kids. We hope
third grade will do another play next year. Published by 1/5/2010

“Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh,” the Martin Show Choir sang as they entered our school with a round of applause. On December 4, 2009, Dunn’s students experienced a wonderful performance. These 50 amazing choir singers couldn't have done it with out the help of Mrs. Owens, the head director, and Mr. Aulton, the assistant director. We can't wait to see you again next year, Martin!

Do you like
green? Well Friday, December 4th was your chance to wear green. Dunn’s

Look
at all these beautiful pieces of art work and poems done by the
Dunn Dragons. These students participated in the 2009 Dunn Reflections
Contest. The theme was beauty. Every artist says a picture means a thousand
words and a poem means a thousand pictures. These students worked extraordinarily
hard to complete these pictures and poems for the Reflections Contest.

From youngsters
to adults, they all loved Dunn’s Destination Book Fair on November
9th to the 13th. From buying books to guessing games in a jar, they
had it all! Just like these kids, they all love to read, read, read!
Each of them, like many, is able to pick out their favorite books from a
variety of many. With books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid to Littlest Pet Shop,
they all have a book to enjoy. Thanks to the PTA, Student Council, and
many others, we had a wonderful book fair to enjoy! Published 11/23/09

The Indians
are coming! The Indians are coming, and don't forget the pilgrims
too! Has anyone seen the Mayflower? Well at Dunn’s Thanksgiving
lunch all of the little “pilgrims and Indians” ate lunch with their
families and friends on November 19th, 2009. “ We had a great time,”
said one of the parents. There was great food and it was a great experience.
Our wonderful cafeteria staff prepared the food of roast turkey breast,
mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, and many more delicious
Thanksgiving treats! Thank you cafeteria staff for making this possible.
Thanks PTA also for helping sell meal tickets for our wonderful guests. Published 11\20\09

Car Smash

Bam! Bam! Bam! As you walked
inside, you could still hear the car smash at the Dunn Carnival.
There was always a line at the Car Smash. The car was so dented it
looked like a brown bruise an hour later. Lots of people also spray
painted their names and signs onto the car. You had to wear a helmet
and goggles for safety. Lots of people were cheering the person who
was hitting the car. As the sun went down, other people started to go
home. Then the volunteers started to clean up around the activities.
We would like to thank the PTA for making this Dunn activity happen and
all the other volunteers that worked there. The Dunn Carnival was a huge
success. Published 11/20/09

Thud, thud, thud! That's what you probably heard during Dunn’s 2009 Carnival
as these two kids battled it out to knock each other off their
red and gray platforms. The carnival was on Saturday, October 17,
2009. Lots of schools had carnivals, but Dunn’s was the best you could
find! It had bounce houses, huge inflatable slides, face painters, dancing,
video games, a petting zoo, car smashing, and even a silent auction!
This year's carnival was better than last years, and next year's will
be better than this year's! It was a great way to earn money for the
school because people had so much fun; they wouldn't stop buying game
tickets! Anyway, this was the best Dunn Carnival ever! Thank you PTA,
for giving us this wonderful carnival! Published 11/20/09

Do you
like books? Dunn’s second graders certainly do. There was a book
fair at Dunn Elementary, 11/9/09 -11/13/09. Do you see all the
cases of books? Those were only a few of the books, so obviously
you could have found a book that you would have wanted to read over
and over again. As you can tell, Dunn’s PTA is very devoted to our school.
Thank you, PTA, for hosting the book fair. Published 11/20/09

Does anyone need any help? Well, I know who can help
you. These awesome students are our 5th and 6th grade Student
Council. Every year Dunn Elementary elects a student council, who
helps us with almost everything that we do at Dunn. For example,
they help with Coins for Kids, food drives, holiday decorations, the
Dragon Buck Store, and many more activities. Most importantly, they
lead the Dragon song every Friday. Thank you, student council! Published 11-19-09
