First-graders at Dogwood Elementary School got creative, and maybe a little bit messy, when they built their own log cabins on Dec. 14. Joined by invited adult guests, the young architects used pretzel logs, icing, gingerbread and other edible treats to come up with a one-of-a kind creation that they could enjoy at home.

On Oct. 24, Dogwood Elementary School joined together for Unity Day assembly and peace walk. Students and staff dressed in orange to send a unified message against bullying. Each grade shared their pledge to prevent bullying and spread kindness. The entire school community participated in a peace walk outside and worked collaboratively to spell out “peace” in formation.
