Flipper in Disguise - Day 2
Before teaching at DES, this Flipper directed an afterschool program and once spent time in Canada with a French-speaking family for a college class.
🎉 Our DES 3rd graders have been hard at work building their very own working pinball machines! Today, they had the chance to show off their creations and share their projects with classmates. We love seeing their creativity and problem-solving skills in action! 🐬💡 #DESDolphins #HandsOnLearning #FutureEngineers
Our 5th graders had an amazing day exploring beautiful Lake Jocassee! 🌊🐟 They learned, laughed, and made memories together on this fun outdoor adventure. 💙 #DESAdventures #DES5thGrade
