JiJi Visits Dighton Elementary! 🐧💚💛
Students at DES recently welcomed a very special visitor — JiJi the Penguin from ST Math! To celebrate an incredible achievement, students at every grade level enjoyed a JiJi Dance Party during recess after our school reached 80% overall progress in ST Math!
Reaching this milestone is a tremendous accomplishment and reflects the hard work, perseverance, and dedication of our students and staff. ST Math helps students strengthen their problem-solving, critical thinking, and conceptual math skills through engaging, visual learning experiences that encourage productive struggle and persistence.
This achievement directly connects to the district’s strategic plan by promoting academic excellence, student engagement, and equitable access to high-quality learning opportunities. It also supports the development of future-ready learners by encouraging students to think critically, persevere through challenges, and build confidence in mathematics. Most importantly, it demonstrates the power of working together toward a shared goal — something our DES Eagles continue to do each and every day!
Way to go, Eagles — keep up the amazing work! #WeAreDR #EIS #DT2030 🦅🐧💚💛

Students in Kindergarten and Grade 1 were treated to a special read-aloud today from Dighton Selectmen Glen Cabbage, of Cambridge Savings Bank. As part of their annual “Teach Children to Save” program, students enjoyed the story "Just a Piggy Bank" by Mercer Mayer, which introduced important concepts such as earning, spending, saving, and sharing money in a fun and engaging way.
Each student received their own piggy bank, and a copy of the book was generously donated to the school. We are grateful to Cambridge Savings Bank for providing this meaningful learning experience and helping our youngest learners begin to build strong financial habits early on.

Dighton Elementary School students have truly enjoyed the new ACE program offerings this year, which have created additional opportunities for students to connect, explore interests, and build skills beyond the traditional school day. One popular club has been Fitness is Fun with Ms. Corvi, where students engage in healthy, active experiences while having fun with their peers.
This opportunity aligns directly with our strategic plan by supporting the development of the whole child through wellness, engagement, and positive school experiences. Programs like ACE help foster a strong sense of belonging, encourage healthy habits, and provide enriching activities that strengthen students socially, emotionally, and physically. Through offerings like Fitness is Fun, we continue to create an environment where students are excited to learn, grow, and thrive.

Superintendent Runey visited Mrs. Grillo’s class after hearing about their incredible bracelet initiative, with proceeds supporting a DES student facing hardship. He stopped by to share how impressed he was with their efforts and how their work connects to the district’s Portrait of a Graduate, especially the Collaborator, Communicator, and Future-Ready pillars.
During his visit, he also took the opportunity to teach students about ROI and installment plans, even placing a special order of his own! 💚💛
Thank you, Superintendent Runey, for always making the time to visit and for showing our students what it truly means to be #WeAreDR.

Our DES students are turning creativity into kindness! 💚💛
Mrs. Grillo’s Grade 4 class has been hard at work creating beautiful rainbow loom bracelets as part of their “Crafts for a Cause” project. Students are taking orders from DES and school staff, designing custom bracelets (up to 4 colors!) and learning valuable skills in teamwork, organization, and entrepreneurship along the way.
Even more special, all proceeds will go toward funding a scholarship opportunity for a DES student who would like to participate in the A.C.E. Program but may face financial hardship. ❤️
We are so proud of our students for using their talents to give back and support one another. Thank you to everyone who has already placed an order and supported this meaningful cause!
