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 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!
