Duncan and JH ACE Programs are officially finished for the fall semester. The ACE Program will resume in January.

Duncan Elementary celebrates Monica Smith's birthday today! Thank you Mrs. Smith for your service to our kids and district!

Chico the Elf visited Mrs. Munoz class and had them write their name on a dry erase boards and then each student came and told him what they wanted for Christmas! They had so much fun!



Spirit of the Winds Band
On Saturday, December 7, 2019 seven Floydada middle school students traveled to Shallowater for the Middle School All-Region Band Auditions. The students all placed competitively overall, and Noe De Los Santos was selected for the All-Region Concert Band. Noe will attend the All-Region Weekend in January 2020, performing with the best musicians from the region under the baton of one of the best conductors and educators in the country. Congratulations to all the students who sacrificed their time and worked so hard to compete!
Goooooo Whirlwinds!

BPA wants to thank everyone that bought a Poinsettia for their fundraiser.


Chico the Elf has been assigned to Duncan Elementary by Santa to monitor students’ behavior and report back to the North Pole daily. He’ll be making his rounds to each grade and many of the classrooms between now and Christmas. His first stop was in Mrs Snowden’s class. Chico was so kind and brought a project for the students to try. 6th graders are also learning about tectonic plates and how the convection current in the asthenosphere effect plate movement.
