The 8th graders participated in the Reality Store today. It is a financial simulation that allows students to learn more about career planning, money management and budgeting, and decision making. Students go through the process of choosing a career, receiving a “paycheck,” and learning to budget their pay to meet monthly expenses, along with unexpected expenses. This was a "Gear UP" sponsored event.

It's Mustang Pride Day! If you see a group of students out and about - giving back to our amazing community - give them a honk for a job well done! We love this tradition - getting outside together and fostering deeper relationships. ❤️

DC Families, All 7th grade students will be going to Des Moines to visit the Iowa State Capitol building on Wednesday, April 30th. Buses will be leaving from DCMS at 8:30 and arriving in Des Moines around 10:30. Our first stop will be to Pappajohn Sculpture Park to view the outdoor artwork and enjoy our lunches. Then we will drive to the capitol building for a guided tour beginning at 12:15. We will have 4 tour guides, so your child will be put into one of the four groups with at least 2 adult chaperones. We hope to leave Des Moines no later than 2:15, putting us back in Bloomfield around 4:15. Please arrange transportation for your child when we return, as normal bus routes will have already left the building. We will have your child text or call when we get closer to Bloomfield. Your child will need to bring a sack lunch for the day. If needed, your child may get a sack lunch from the school lunch program. Please let us know ahead of time if the school needs to prepare lunch for your child. I also recommend sending your child an extra drink and a few snacks to enjoy on the bus ride home, although this is optional. Your child can also bring a device to play games or listen to music on the ride up and back, but he/she must have headphones. Davis County Middle School will not be responsible for lost, stolen, or broken items

Data scientist, Kyle Spurgeon, is our next alumni spotlight!

8th Grade students toured John Deere Ottumwa Works this week. We appreciate John Deere offering STEM outreach, including classroom materials for activities. Leading up to the tour, the 8th graders have been building rubber band powered tractors and they also learned about John Deere's plans for equipment that are being developed this year. Teacher Derek Robison shared, "[t]his is our second year to make the trip, it's a great experience for our 8th graders to see the different careers available at a place like John Deere. They also get to see into the world of what it's like to be an engineer. " #STEMatDCMS #DCMS #STEM
