Week of 11.12.18
Hello Brave Community!
Happy Monday Evening! Thanksgiving Break is right around the corner!
With that in mind, I want to wish each family represented by our student body a
restful and blessed holiday. School will
resume on Monday, November 26, 2018. We
will be refreshed and prepared to provide each of our BRAVE students an amazing
teaching and learning experience here at DFT!
As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven
Habits of Highly Effective People each week. Our habit of the week this week is Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw! We teach our students the importance of
having balance. We encourage them to take
care of themselves by eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep.
Word of the Week
(WOW):
This week’s word is “integrity”. It is a noun that means to be honest and have
strong principles. Partner with us in
focusing on our campus WOW. Ask your
student to use the word in a sentence or perhaps you could be very intentional
in your use of our word. Thanks for your
participation!
