From Your Discovery Elementary PTO
Discovery Elementary was thrilled to welcome author Dion Leonard and his rescue dog, Gobi, to our school this week! Students were beyond excited to meet the author of Finding Gobi, a heartwarming story about how Dion and Gobi found each other during a challenging marathon in the Gobi Desert.
Dion shared the inspiring true story of how he rescued Gobi, a stray dog who ran alongside him during the race, and their bond grew into a beautiful friendship. The students were captivated by Dion’s journey and loved hearing about the adventures of Gobi, who was also present for the visit, stealing the show with his lovable charm!
It was a truly special moment for the kids to meet both the author and the dog they had read about in class. Finding Gobi is a book about resilience, compassion, and the unexpected friendships that change our lives, and the students couldn’t have been more excited to meet the real-life stars of the story.
Thank you, Dion and Gobi, for sharing your incredible journey with us!

As we kick off the 2024-2025 school year, the PTO is buzzing with excitement for all the incredible opportunities ahead! We’re thrilled to welcome students back to Discovery Elementary, where this year promises to be filled with engaging learning experiences, fun events, and new adventures. From enriching activities in science, art, and music to lively after-school events and meaningful extracurricular programs, we have an exciting lineup in store.
We can’t wait to see the enthusiasm and energy our students bring to the classroom and beyond. Here’s to a fantastic year of growth, learning, and community spirit. Let’s make it a memorable one together!
Last night, our school transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity and celebration at our annual Arts on the Green! The event was a resounding success, showcasing the incredible talents of our students and bringing our community together for a night to remember.
As guests strolled along the art walk, illuminated by charming market lights, they were treated to a feast for the senses. The walls were adorned with stunning displays of students’ writing and art, each piece a testament to their creativity and imagination.
The evening was filled with music as each grade took the stage to perform songs about weather, the overarching theme of the event. From sunny melodies to rhythmic songs about rain, our students’ performances captivated the audience and brought smiles to all faces.
But the excitement didn’t stop there! Guests had the opportunity to bid on fantastic items at the silent auction, with proceeds supporting our school’s programs. Meanwhile, food trucks served up delicious treats, satisfying appetites as attendees mingled and enjoyed the festivities.
For those looking for a bit of friendly competition and fun, each class had set up a game booth with various activities, providing endless entertainment for guests of all ages.
Arts on the Green was not just an event—it was a celebration of creativity, community, and the incredible talents of our students. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to making the evening a tremendous success.
Until next time, let’s continue to nurture and celebrate the arts in our school community!
Warm regards,
Discovery Elementary PTO
