Weekly Jr. Oiler

11/13/26

Here is this week's Jr. Oiler for your review!


Principal Update:

Dear Dwyer Families,

Although there was no school Wednesday for Veteran’s Day, it was still a full week of learning and activity here at Dwyer!  A special congratulations goes out to our 6th/7th Grade Boys Volleyball team for bringing home the Championship title, as well as our 8th Grade Girls Basketball team for an impressive second-place finish!  I am very proud of all our student-athletes who have competed this year, representing Dwyer with remarkable sportsmanship, GRIT, and dedication.

With just one more week of teaching and learning remaining before Thanksgiving Break, I encourage us all to remain focused to become, “Better Each Day”. Please encourage your students to finish this stretch strong by staying focused on their studies and continuing to show kindness to one another each day. I hope that your loved ones have a restful weekend ahead, and we look forward to making next week a great one before Thanksgiving Break!

Respectfully,

Mr. Okamoto
