DRAGON HOUSES
The Dragon Houses were created in 2009 when Dilworth Elementary was re-established as a neighborhood school. There are four dragon houses: Denim Blue Drakes, Hunter Green Hydras, Lemon-Lime Lindorms, and Orange Ouroboros. When new students and teachers come to Dilworth, they are inducted into a dragon house by selecting a colored stone from a velvet bag without looking. Each person's dragon house is a surprise!
Within each dragon house students are paired with reading buddies from other grade levels. This partnership gives each student in the school an opportunity to meet new friends, establish lasting relationships, and build character together. The dragon house teachers are responsible for supporting and encouraging good buddy reading practices and facilitating an understanding of the character education traits twice a month.
Dragon Dollars are given to students for exhibiting "On F.I.R.E." behavior and strong character. Each house collects the dragon dollars quarterly. The dragon house earning the most dragon dollars is the keeper of the coveted Dragon House Trophy until the next quarter. At the end of the year, the trophy goes to the dragon house that earns the most dragon dollars for the entire year!
