The Dysart Unified School District will be celebrating its 100th year of educating the community in the 2020-2021 school year. With more than 100 years of history, we know that there are many stories and memories that exemplify the extraordinary experiences students, staff, parents, and community members have had over the past century.  

We are looking for people to share their memories and stories to be used as part of the centennial celebration. District alumni, staff, students and the community are also invited to help plan events, research history, collect memorabilia, fundraise, and volunteer at events. Anyone that would like to participate may do so at Dysart.org/Centennial. Dysart looks forward to many more years of providing extraordinary experiences to our community.

The city of El Mirage and El Mirage Cares will host a forum on November 19th about Bullying and Suicide Prevention, from 5:30-7:30 at Dysart Elementary. There are separate educational sessions for adults and youth in grades 3rd through 12th. Refreshments and food will be available for all attendees. 

El Mirage, Riverview, and Surprise Elementary School parents have teamed up to create a parent/teacher organization called Dysart Community Coalition. This Coalition will be involved in activities such as fundraisers and volunteering. If you are willing to come to the meetings, the next one is on November 21st at 5 PM at Riverview. Also, you can order T-shirts from this spirit wear link. 

Please join us on Tuesday, November 19th for our annual Thanksgiving lunch. We will be serving oven roasted sliced turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, cornbread stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry relish, warm wheat rolls, and pumpkin bars. The cost is free to all El Mirage students, and $3.50 for all visitors. We will be eating lunch out in the courtyard to enjoy our families and nice fall weather. We hope to see you here!

El Mirage Elementary School hosted athletes from Phoenix Rising soccer for an assembly to kick off their Health and Wellness signature program.

The Tigers welcomed the Phoenix Rising with a roaring clap-out through the halls of the school led by student ambassadors and the El Mirage mascot. Players, Joey Calistri and Ben Spencer and business representative, Kendall Barnes spoke to students about what it takes to be successful in professional sports, setting career goals, and the importance of having a growth mindset.  The athletes participated in a scrimmage game against boys and girls middle school players and demonstrated techniques during a penalty kick contest with students and staff. Students displayed their athletic talents and Principal, Stephanie Scott made an impressive goal.  

This presentation is the first of many opportunities provided through the Health and Wellness signature program. Through health and wellness experiences, college preparation, and physical fitness, students will achieve their full potential and learn life-long skills for success.  The purpose is to teach students about healthy habits, and to help them become well-rounded individuals, with healthy minds and bodies. Students are encouraged to increase physical activity by getting outside and playing, to eat healthy, be confident in their abilities, and not be afraid to fail and try again.
