Dade County Officers Visit DES Pre-K |
|
DES Pre-K spent a day with members of the Dade County Sheriff's Department last week. The officers made a visit to the Pre-k classes at Dade Elementary as part of their community helpers unit. Students met a police dog, looked inside a police car, and listened to a story. We would like to thank Sheriff Ray Cross and the officers with the Dade County Sheriff's Department for making this event happen. |

Congratulations to Benjaman Lind, Makenna Foster, and Ms. Brittany Koger for being recognized for their COMMITMENT. Here is what someone had to say about each of them. Benjaman - "Ben knows how special the Medal of Honor heroes are. Ben's father and brother are both past and present service men. During a lesson, Ben stood at attention for an eleven minute video about the Medal of Honor. Ben, at a young age, already has a commitment to his country, his family and a commitment to show others what honoring those who have sacrificed for us looks like." Here is what someone had to say about Makenna - "Makenna made a choice in Mrs. Tonia Stevens’ third-grade classroom to have a seat placement beside a friend who had been out of school due to illness. Other friends tried to persuade Makenna to change her seat placement; however, she was steadfast in her commitment to wait on her friend’s return. Big or small, it's actions that seem to count the most in friendship." And for Ms. Brittany Koger - "Mrs. Brittany Koger is always willing to go the extra mile for Dade Elementary School. She is committed to bringing STEAM to the students of DES."

DCHS Character Spotlights |

Congratulations to Maleah Smith, Avery Butler, and Ms. Pam Barton for being recognized for their COMMITMENT. Here is what someone had to say about each of them. Maleah - “I’ve had Maleah in class for the past two years and she is one of the kindest students I’ve ever taught. When I was out with Covid she sent emails checking on my health and encouraging me to get better. Throughout the pandemic, Maleah has stayed on top of her assignments and been a positive influence on others. I have observed Maleah in other classes and in the hallways and know that her commitment to kindness and her studies go beyond just my classroom.” Here is what someone had to say about Avery - "Avery is a really hard worker when it comes to school and marching band, He's always committed to doing his work and the things he does in band. when asked the other day " how are you so energetic even after hours in the sun" his response was " because it's something i enjoy doing and it makes me happy" I am nominating Avery because he's living proof that if you are truly going to be fully committed to something, you will work your hardest and still have fun in the process." And for Ms. Pam Barton - "Ms. Barton is the true definition of a leader that is committed to serving. She empowers the CTAE Department with her guidance and continuous support and is always willing to assist in our programs as needed. She often goes unnoticed, but that is because she never places the spotlight on herself, rather focusing on her students and department members."
