The DES Habitat hosted Read and Roar at The Park this morning. What a wonderful program put on by the Dallam Hartley County Library. The next opportunity to attend Read and Roar will be next Wednesday at 7th St park beginning at 10:30 am.

Thank you to everyone that has volunteered in the Habitat. We are so excited for our students and staff to utilize the Habitat this school year. Lights and flags are going up, rocks have been placed, the tepee has been built and the dirt work is completed for the stage. The garden is growing and we are excited to share the Habitat with everyone in the community!!
