Welcome to Mrs. Sally Ruan
We are very pleased to welcome Sally Ruan to the DeBeck community as our Head Administrative Assistant. She comes to us with raves reviews from people at the Board Office and throughout the school district, and has quickly made a positive impression on all of us here at DeBeck.
Welcome Back to Nimmi Lee
We often say, “Once a Dragon... Always a Dragon.” and so it feels great to welcome Nimmi Lee, formerly an outstanding Noon Hour Supervisor at DeBeck, back to our learning community – this time as an Educational Assistant. We are thrilled she is back home!

BOOK FAIR
October 20th – 28th
Parent Volunteers Wanted
The Scholastic Book Fair will open on Tuesday, October 20th. Please consider volunteering for this event. We love having parent participation and the children love having your help.
Next week, the Scholastic flyer will be sent home, and there will be an information page and a tear off portion to provide your name, email, phone number, and times/days you are able to volunteer.
Thank you for supporting this fundraiser for our School Library. Your purchase means more books for our students to borrow throughout the school year.
We will continue to have our two traditional draws of $25 worth of items for the student and $25 worth of items for the teacher of this student. In addition, there will be daily draws to add excitement.
Thank you for your support and remember that the Library is a "Green Place" where students and staff can borrow and reuse books continually.
