What has Dixson students so excited? Reading.

Principal Deborah Earle has noticed that the kindergarten and first-grade students at her school are “definitely excited and engaged” when it comes to reading, which is just one way for students to reach their reading goals.

Throughout Black History Month, celebrated in February, students engaged in special assemblies celebrating historical figures and culture and acknowledging the many contributions in this country.

Barkley, the new Dixson mascot, was introduced to students at a special assembly, launching a new initiative focused on helping students to BARK: Be Safe, Be Accountable, Be Respectful and Be Kind!

The Dixson First Grade Moving Up Ceremony, held on June 25, was out of this world. Students, together with their family and friends looking on, celebrated their early educational years as they prepare for what comes next, second grade at the Alex E. Grady Elementary School.
