The Diller-Odell Lady Griffins basketball team will be playing on Friday, February 28th in the D1-7 District Finals.  The #7 Lady Griffins will host the #10 Lourdes Central Catholic Lady Knights at 7:00 PM.  No passes will be accepted.  The game will be streamed on fan.hudl.com (Diller-Odell).  Good Luck Griffins as you are one step away from the State Tournament!!  

Mr. Arnold's Tech 7th period technology class has been busy preparing and installing a decal on a trailer.  Former Diller-Odell student and student of Mr. Arnold's tech class, Tybor Smith, reached out to the class to see if they could recreate his business logo for his new plumbing business to display on his enclosed trailer.   Ben Sohl and Braden Troxel had to download the image and take it into Inkscape software in order to be able to run it through the vinyl cutter.  After doing that, Tybor brought his trailer to the school so Ben and Braden could install the logo on the trailer along with his business name and phone number.  It was a project different than any we had done before, so it presented its challenges, but Ben and Braden did a great job and the trailer looks fantastic.  Thank you to Tybor for trusting us with a project of this magnitude and for giving Ben and Braden this opportunity!

Mr. Arnold

The Speech Team returned to competition today after a couple weather cancelations recently. The team competed very well at a large, competitive meet at Pawnee City. Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Lady Griffins as they defeated Tri County last night 55-39 to win the D1-1 Subdistrict Finals. The Griffins will move on to play in a district finals game Friday 28th with details TBA. Great Job Ladies!! 

Students at Diller Odell Elementary School engaged in an exciting engineering project led by Extension Educator Jacie Milius. The objective was to design and construct a car using various food items. After designing their cars, students measured the distance each editable vehicle traveled. It was a delightful experience to observe the diverse and creative designs that the students developed.

We are taking a break from reading (for now)! The roles have been flipped allowing the 6th graders to be challenged to teach our kindergarten buddies. The 6th graders were assigned to teach addition by using math manipulatives. By allowing students to pick things up, examine them closely, and move them around, manipulatives aid in their understanding of abstract concepts. Using math manipulatives helps build a cognitive understanding that will help students connect the ideas they are learning. It was a mutual activity between our K-buddies and very beneficial for all!
