During the 2023 - 2024 school year, students at Dillsboro Elementary School participated in a relatively new athletic program: Archery. Students learned about all of the functional components of their bow, how to shoot arrows with their bow, and the best techniques to consistently hit their targets. The Dillsboro Elementary School archery team placed 9th overall in the State and finished in the top 50% at Nationals! 🏹

Before school let out, our 4th-grade students participated in Pioneer Day at the Dillsboro Park. They played games and learned what it was like to be a kid back then. Thank you, Cherie Rump, for organizing this event.

Dillsboro Run Club finished their season at the Flying Frog 5k with 46 runners racing the 3.1 miles. Earlier in May, a smaller group participated in the Flying Pig 5k and 26th Mile in Cincinnati. We exceeded our participation goals this year and had a blast working our way through training together and watching our athletes crush the goals they set at the beginning of the season. As a team, we ran over 2,000 miles. None of this would be possible without our dedicated coaches and fabulous community sponsors. A special thanks to The Ross Grant, Dillsboro Arts, American Legion Post #292, Navigate Tomorrow Inc., Blue Willow House, The Friendship State Bank, J&J Liquor, Dillsboro PTO, Filter-DeVries-Moore Funeral Home, and the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southeastern Indiana.

Dillsboro Elementary School students in Mrs. White's kindergarten class enjoyed their learning centers by exploring, building, and imagining together. Each learning center provided an opportunity for students to work independently or together to complete tasks. They were hands-on experiences that helped these young students be active participants in their learning.
