Week of 2.4.19
Hello Brave Community!
Happy Monday! This school year is moving right along. It’s already February! We have a full week ahead of us, including a
5th grade visit to Hernandez Middle School on Tuesday and a third grade
performance Thursday evening. I am
thrilled to be on this DFT team providing a teaching and learning
experience that positively impacts and inspires each of our BRAVE students!
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 6: Synergize! We teach our students the value of working
together with others. We provide
opportunities for teamwork among students because we know that they can get
more done when working with a group than working alone.
Word of the Week (WOW):
This week’s word is “ambitious”. It is an
adjective that means showing a strong desire to succeed. 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!

Quote of the Month:
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively
and to think critically. Intelligence
plus character- that is the true goal of education.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
My Belief:
I consider it a privilege and a blessing to serve the Double File
Trail Elementary Community as the principal. I believe in our

partner with you to make this happen. Please don’t hesitate to reach
out to me or any member of my team in support of your child’s
education. We are ALL here to support and encourage our students to
BE BRAVE, CHOOSE KIND and LEAD ON!
