Articles from December 2016

Children’s author, Buck Wilder, visited Eisenhower Elementary School in November. He talked with the students about appreciating nature, promoted reading & writing, and discussed the process of writing and publishing his books. The kids enjoyed his presentation and many purchased books to take home!

On Thursday, December 8, 2nd and 3rd grade students from Eisenhower Elementary School performed in a winter music concert at Roosevelt Middle School.  Ms. McCormick and the kids did a fantastic job!

2nd grade students took a very interesting field trip to the Dubuque Water Treatment Plant!  The water treatment plant is located next to Sutton Pool, down by the river. Students got to see how the water is tested, cleaned, moved through the different parts of the plant and then sent out to the people of Dubuque.  Thank you for hosting our students for this great field trip!

This gallery is a way to highlight the remarkable products of art education in the district. It’s a digital attempt at bringing the work of our student artists at all levels into your home – because art is created for others to take in.

Thanks so much to our wonderful PTO organization!  The 2016 Eisenhower Walkathon was a great day for students and families alike!
