DOWEA Bitz Intermediate School

🌙 5th graders got a taste of science during their phases of the moon lesson—and yes, it was delicious! 😋 From new moon to full moon, learning has never been so fun (or sweet)!

Happy International Picnic Day! 🧺🐊
We hope our gators are soaking up the sunshine, sharing snacks, and enjoying some well-earned outdoor fun today! 🌞💚

Supporting the whole student means supporting military families, too. Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLCs) provide valuable resources and support to help students navigate life's challenges and stay focused on success. Learn more in the post below.

Military-connected students face unique challenges, from frequent moves to deployments and life transitions. Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLCs) play an important role in supporting students and families through those experiences.

At DoWEA, we value the partnerships that help our students stay , connected, and ready to learn. As we head into summer, remember that support is available for military families whenever it’s needed.

Our fifth graders wrapped up the year with an epic Red Robin Tug-of-War Tournament! 🎉💪 Laughter, teamwork, and school spirit were on full display as students gave it their all. A huge thank you to Mr. Myer for organizing such a fun and memorable event! And congratulations to Mrs. McKinney’s class for pulling their way to victory! 🏆👏

Happy Flag Day, Bitz Intermediate families! 🇺🇸✨
Today we celebrate the stars and stripes and all they represent—freedom, unity, and pride. We hope your day is filled with joy, reflection, and a little red, white, and blue spirit! 💙❤️🤍

What a fantastic way to wrap up the school year at Bitz Intermediate! 🎉 Our last day was filled with smiles, laughter, and a whole lot of excitement—especially during the clapout! 👏💙 Watching our students cheer each other on was the perfect send-off into summer. Wishing all our Bitz families a fun, safe, and relaxing break! ☀️📚
