Message From Mrs. Sanchez
Good Afternoon DRES Family,
In remembrance of September 11, 2001, DRES thanks all of the first responders and military family and friends that risk their lives daily to protect and help us. We are grateful for you.
We will have a moment of silence tomorrow during our Morning Message in remembrance of 9/11.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to read over some DRES announcements and upcoming information.
Have a good afternoon,
Mrs. Sanchez, Principal
APEX REMIX- Half Way
Your children have learned about the following leadership habits:
1. Fearless- Being willing to push ourselves outside of our comfort zone.
2. Adapt- We are able to adjust to different situations, especially when they are out of our control.
3. Care- We're willing to put in the effort to show everyone we're serious about reaching our goals.
We have 3 APEX Leaders on campus each day to teach the leadership habits to each classroom, play with the students during recess, and pass out prizes earned. They have been a great addition to the school environment and are connecting well with our students!
We are a little less than halfway to our goal of raising $25,000 for our school. The funds we earn will go towards enhancing our school security, technology upkeep, Teacher Appreciation, and other ways to support our DRES School Family.
Keep bringing in those pledges!
