We are so proud to recognize this month’s students who consistently show what it means to be a Leader in Me school! These outstanding Little Griffins have demonstrated the Habits in action — from Being Proactive and Putting First Things First to Thinking Win-Win and Synergizing with their classmates.
They also shine by meeting our school-wide behavior expectations each day, showing kindness, responsibility, and respect in all they do. 💙✨
Thank you for leading by example and making NDLE an amazing place to learn and grow! Keep soaring, Leaders! 🦅💫

💜Our Little Griffins love to support a good cause. So many students showed up in their purple to support Lydia and donated their $1 in the office. 💜

Another awesome Cluster Day at NDLE!! After we recruit the best, we support the best, to retain the best, and that's what we did today in Cluster. New Teachers went on a field trip to see high-quality teaching practices, in which they could add to their toolboxes to strengthen their own teaching practices and student outcomes. #RecruitSupportRetain #DeSotoDifference #DreamBelieveAchieve

Today, November 11, North DeSoto Lower Elementary proudly honors all Veterans in our Little Griffin community. We are deeply grateful to the parents, grandparents, and family members of our Little Griffins who have served—or are currently serving—in our nation’s Armed Forces.
We are especially proud to recognize the three Veterans who continue their service right here on our campus:
💚 Deputy Randolph (Army) – for keeping us safe, secure, and leading with strength and integrity.
💙 Mrs. Webb (Air Force) and 💙 Mrs. Young (Navy) – for serving our school family with kindness, compassion, and dedication every day as Kindergarten teachers.
Your examples of patriotism, leadership, and service inspire us all.
Thank you for your continued commitment—to our country and to our Little Griffins! 🦅❤️💙
