Last week, Durham Elementary had an AWESOME BMX assembly. Students and staff had a blast watching the riders do crazy tricks and stunts. Huge shoutout to the BMX team for taking the time to come and put on such a fun and exciting show for us. Can’t wait for more cool stuff like this at DES. Go Tigers!





Gustavo Vega-Villarreal, nominated by Mrs. Bunch, for his kindness, patience, and willingness to help classmates in Math and Science. Gustavo’s positive attitude and supportive nature make a meaningful impact on his peers and the classroom community.

Zachary “Tate” Meinberg, nominated by Mrs. Lincoln, for his responsibility, dedication to completing homework, and consistent kindness and respect toward others. Tate’s cheerful attitude, strong work ethic, and love of reading—he finishes about one book each week, often graphic novels—make him a wonderful example for his peers.


Today was another fun day at Durham Unified! Our 8th grade students participated in one of the best events of the year. Our annual boat race. It’s such an amazing tradition that truly makes our district special. A big shoutout to all of our 8th grade students for their hard work and to parents and community members who came out to support them.
More DHS HOCO fun tonight! Starting at 7pm, our Trojan Boys play their POWER PUFF Volleyball Game in the DHS Gym. Come down to watch and cheer them on. While you’re there, support Durham PTS!
Tonight’s dinner fundraiser includes a slice of pizza, drink and a cookie for $7. Plus, they will be selling an assortment of desserts and drinks. All proceeds help fund all the homecoming fun hosted (for free) by DHS PTS! Hope to see you there!
Can’t come but want to contribute? Donations (in any amount) are welcomed and much appreciated! Cash, check and Venmo is accepted!


We wanted to share that yesterday, DIS had a fantastic assembly hosted by the Butte County Sheriff's Office on the critical topic of online safety. They learned valuable tips on how to stay safe while using social media, gaming, chatting, and other online activities. It was an incredibly educational presentation, and we are grateful for the insights shared.
Thank you to the Butte County Sheriff's Office for equipping our kids with the knowledge they need to stay safe online.

DIS Jog-A-Thon
Our students had a fantastic time running laps at our annual Jog-A-Thon! A huge thank-you to all the volunteers who helped make this event a success — we couldn’t have done it without you. This is our ASB’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and the money raised helps support experiences like Shady Creek, the 8th Grade Trip to Sun Splash, the Honor Roll Trip, and many other fun activities for our Panthers.
