Dragon Spotlight:
A big shout out to our brilliant 8th grade Dragons who took the first place at the EUSD district-wide STEM competition. With the guidance of Mr. Demcak, our 8th graders, including Emily M., Ivette U., Jayden P., and Jagger N., were victorious in the Tower Defense competition. This challenge required competitors to use their skills and creativity to build a tower that can withstand an earthquake simulation. Amazing work, Dragons!

Del Dios Academy is beyond proud to recognize our school nurse, Mellisa Covarrubias, as our Classified Employee of the Year! Thank you Nurse Mellissa for keeping our Dragons safe and healthy. Congratulations!
