We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new cheer and dance team, The Dewar Dolls! This exciting team brings together 88 talented students from across our school, all ready to showcase their spirit and impressive moves. With the guidance of our seven dedicated teachers, our Dewar Dolls are practicing hard to bring energy and excitement to school events and beyond. We can’t wait to see them shine!

The month of October is National Principals Month so we want to give a huge shoutout to our fantastic Principal, Mrs. Brittany Carswell! Her dedication, leadership, and constant support make Dewar Elementary a wonderful place to learn and grow. Mrs. Carswell leads with kindness and vision, always putting students first and encouraging teachers and staff to be their best. We are so grateful for all she does to make our school a positive and successful community!

Look at our brilliant future innovators! Dr. Hicks' fourth-grade gifted students became AI experts by completing the "Discover AI in Daily Life" lesson. They delved into the benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence, utilizing AI tools such as AutoDraw, Quick Draw, Google Translate, and Verse by Verse to gain hands-on experience. It was a fantastic lesson, and they absolutely crushed it!

Dewar's first Deployment Breakfast Club was a success! The deployment club is more than just a group. It helps students with active-duty military parents who are deployed by providing support for coping, creating community, and building pride in their parents' hard work while they are away. From connection with our Moody Volunteers and peers with parents deployed, to fun activities, and meaningful projects, being part of the Deployment Club benefits our students as a whole. We are grateful for our Moody Volunteers and for our military families. Remember Everyone Deployed!
