Week of 11.18.19
Hello Brave Community!
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, December 2,
2019. 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 month this month is Habit 2:
Begin with the End in Mind! We teach
and model for our students how to plan ahead and set goals. We emphasize the importance of being
prepared.
Word of the Week
(WOW):
This week’s word is “PHENOMENAL”. It is an adjective that means very remarkable
or extraordinary. Partner with us in

in your use of our word. Thanks for your
participation!
