Mr. Jenkins visits 5th and 6th grade

PDS makes American history come alive for our fifth and sixth grade students. Why do we study history? What part does God play in history? These were two of the questions we started the year discussing. The students jumped into the 21st century by learning how technology and the events in this century have shaped the world they live in.  Next, we studied the Gulf War and the war in Afghanistan. Ty Jenkins, a father of PDS fifth-grader  Delilah Jenkins, came and told about his time in Afghanistan. Thank you Mr. Jenkins for sharing your time with us!

SPECIAL GUEST - Mr. & Mrs. Gilroy Chow

Mr. & Mrs. Gilroy Chow came to PDS to talk to our students about America's race to be the first in space. This is part of the current topics they are studying in social studies. We were so amazed at how God uses someone from the Delta to be part of putting the first man on the moon. He inspired us to see God uses people even from our town to do big things for His glory. Thank you Mr. & Mrs, Chow!!
