In December, Duncan Title III and Title I, Part C K-5th students attended the Region 17 ESC Book Fiesta. Students enjoyed a variety of interactive read-alouds, participated in fun arts and crafts activities, and had the opportunity to share their own work. Each student left with some favorite books to enjoy at home. To make the day even more special, students also got to meet Mr. and Mrs. Clause.

Junior High Title III students participated in the Region 17 ESC Mi Voz, My Story Poetry Event, where they took part in meaningful activities designed to empower them to use their voices and share their personal stories. Through the creation of original poetry, students creatively expressed their thoughts, experiences, and emotions. They also had the opportunity to showcase their work during an open mic session, building confidence and pride in their voices. To extend the learning beyond the event, students received Laughing Out Loud, I Fly poetry books in both English and Spanish and selected additional books to share with their families, encouraging literacy and continued storytelling at home.

Duncan ACE Update: Due to the incoming weather and the early dismissal tomorrow, there will be no ACE Friday, January 23rd.
