It was an exciting week welcoming our incredible DES staff back to Dardenne! We kicked things off with a Welcome Breakfast sponsored by our PTC, followed by our all-staff meeting where we celebrated the successes of 2025–26 and looked ahead to all that 2026–27 will bring. Staff also participated in our “Hold the Rope” team-building challenge, a fun reminder of the importance of supporting one another, collaborating, and working together as one team.
On Wednesday, we enjoyed the West Side Pep Rally and were especially proud to have Charlotte Randolph, a DES fifth grader, share some of our celebrations from the 2025–26 school year.
Welcoming our staff back this week has been an absolute dream! The energy, excitement, and teamwork have us ready for an amazing year ahead. We can't wait to see all that our students and staff will accomplish in 2026–27.
Champions of the Castle—let’s go, Knights!
