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.
The Eisenhower PTO arranged for Robert Felderman, from General Bob Photography, to create a unique drone video that would commemorate the occasion. It included all students and staff at Eisenhower as well as an aerial look at the building. Thanks PTO!

The program on Friday, November 16, featured guest speakers, viewing of a time capsule put together many years ago, and a performance by the Eisenhower choir. Following the program, tours of the building were offered.
“Eisenhower Elementary School has a long history in Dubuque and has served generations of students,” said Principal Andy Ferguson. “Our celebration will remember the early days of our school while also highlighting the outstanding legacy that we proudly carry on today.”
Eisenhower, named for former president Dwight D. Eisenhower, was constructed in 1968 as an elementary school serving students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Helen Keller, a special education center, was opened adjacent to Eisenhower in 1983 and the two schools later merged in 1990. The school currently serves approximately 540 students in preschool through fifth grade.
Eisenhower Elementary School will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the school’s opening at a special assembly on Friday, Nov. 16. A celebratory program will be held at 1:30 p.m. in the school’s gymnasium, with tours and socializing following. Former Eisenhower students and staff, as well as any member of the community, are invited to attend.
The program will feature guest speakers, viewing of a time capsule put together many years ago, and a performance by the Eisenhower choir. Following the program, tours of the building will be offered until 3 p.m.

Our fantastic PTO does so much to enrich the Eisenhower School library! They run the book fair in the fall with profits going to the purchase of new titles for the library. It takes a lot of hard-working volunteers to make that happen. This year we also used “Class Cash” from the PTO to purchase supplies that helped us better label and organize our library shelving so that students can find the books they want more easily. Be sure to check it out the next time you are at school. Class cash was also used to purchase some additional items for our library’s Maker Space, where kids can come to work on STEAM activities. Thanks PTO!
