A big shout out of THANKS to Domtar! In September DQ librarians attended the De Queen Mena Educational Coop's LMS Fall Forum held in the Ashdown Middle School. During that meeting, those in attendance toured the middle and high school libraries then visited the Domtar Offices where they were surprised with a big donation of books. The donation was in connection to a community literacy outreach program headed by Tammy Waters of Domtar. Thanks so much Tammy and Domtar!

Teachers also nominate students each month who consistently show good character qualities, and a boy and a girl from each grade level will be chosen to be recognized as Students of the Month from those nominations.
