🚌💛 February is Love the Bus Month! 💛🚌 This past Sunday was Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we want to give a BIG Bomber thank you to the incredible drivers who safely transport our students every single day. Through rain, snow, wind, and sunshine, your dedication, patience, and early morning smiles never go unnoticed. You are often the first face our students see each day and the last one before heading home — and that impact matters more than you know. We appreciate you, Mr. & Mrs. Riddle, Mr. Watts, Mr. Hills, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Klein! 👏💛
Our Bombers PTO set up a "thank you station" to give our students the opportunity to share their thanks and gratitude for our daily route drivers! Take a peek at the kindness our students are sharing! 👀

🗣️ Congratulations to the Drayton Bomber Speech team for their impressive finish in Park River on Saturday, their largest meet so far. Jonah placed 3rd in Impromptu Speaking, just missing state qualification following an unbreakable tie for first. Brooklynne earned 5th place with her Speech-to-Entertain, trying out a new speech for the first time. In Humorous Interpretation, one of the meet's biggest events, Stephanie won a 6th place finish, and Ruthie just missed out on placement rankings. Well done, Bombers! 👏
Congratulations to Alyssa Hoyles on an incredible 2nd place finish at the NDHSAA Girls State Wrestling Championship at 130 lbs!
Your hard work, determination, and commitment to excellence were on full display all season long. Finishing as a state runner-up is an outstanding accomplishment, and we are so proud of the way you represented our team and school.
Way to go, Alyssa! 👏🤼♀️

📚 January Students of the Month 📚
The Drayton Education Association would like to announce the January DEA Students of the Month. The following students were nominated by Drayton Public School faculty and staff and voted upon by the Drayton Education Association to recognize them for their academic achievements, citizenship, setting a good example, and overall character.
The January DEA Students of the Month are as follows:
High School- Lana Kalka, Grade 7: Lana was nominated by Mrs. Rarick. Lana is a hard worker and gives her best in all that she does. She is on top of her assignments and does quality work, especially in writing. Lana is always there to help her classmates and gets along well with everyone. She recently stepped out of her comfort zone to participate in the school spelling bee and did awesome. Lana is a great example of hard work and kindness.
Elementary- Caleb Rarick, Grade 4: Caleb was nominated by Ms. Logsdon. Caleb has a lot of empathy and a big heart for others. During Spirit Week, Caleb comforted another student who was upset and helped him feel better. He sat beside him and rubbed his back until the other student was okay. Not many kids would notice this at a young age. Caleb is a wonderful example of caring for others.
