Denning recognized two standout students at the Illinois Principals Association Recognition Breakfast. Elliot Marcum and Hartley Brown are high academic achievers, model leaders, and great kids. We are so proud of these Redbirds! ❤️

We celebrated Read Across America week with a Book Blast! 📚 DES students took almost 800 books home. "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go" -Dr. Suess
