In Mr. Allred’s science class, students are learning about classification of biotic and abiotic organisms. Students researched different organisms from simple, single-celled creatures to complex creatures consisting of eukaryotic cells. They are considering vertebrates and invertebrates, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and then further classifying them into groups based on various phenotypes. They love learning and sharing what they know!

On September 30th, DPS will proudly participate in GA Reads Day, a celebration of reading across the state. This year, we’re inspired by Georgia’s reading coach, Malcolm Mitchell, who not only overcame literacy challenges but also became a star football player, an author of children's books, and the founder of the Share the Magic Foundation.
PAWS will celebrate with a Reading Rally assembly for the entire school at 9:00 AM. Students are asked to wear their favorite Georgia gear--this can include professional or college sports teams, Georgia destinations, Dalton gear, or even their favorite Peanuts gang gear! We will all turn the page to a brighter future as we read for 26 minutes on this day in honor of Malcolm Mitchell’s UGA jersey number!
In honor of Homecoming week, PAWS will be offering a facepainting fundraiser starting Monday, September 23. Starting on Monday, students may stop by the library throughout the day for a cat themed face paint design. Each design is $1; we ask for exact change and no large bills. Proceeds will go toward decor and items for our assemblies and events this school year.

Mid-September brings with it some great opportunities for our students to celebrate. September 15 is International Dot Day. This is a day based on a popular children’s book that celebrates creativity and the power of encouragement. Our art teacher, Mr. D, does a fantastic job of celebrating creatvity with our students. September 15 also kicks off a month long celebration for Hispanic Heritage Month, and on September 17, our country celebrates Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. Our ELL Department helps us to learn about different Hispanic cultures during this month, and Ms. Jones and Mrs. Talley help us learn about our government and citizenship through our student council election, assemblies, and PAWSitive Panther character traits. With all these great things going on, PAWS will bring our school together for an assembly on September 17 at 9:00 am in the auditorium. Our students will sing patriotic songs, and we will end the assembly by kicking off Dalton High School Homecoming. Fourth and fifth grades will also vote for their student council representatives on this day, with winners being announced at the end of the school day. That evening, our families are invited to come to school at 5:00 for our Title I Meeting followed by Open House. We ask that students wear red on this special day!
Join PAWS for Open House on Tuesday, September 17 from 5:00-6:30!
