Giraffe Gazette

Community Giraff-E-News - February 7, 2024

Dear Giraffe Nation, 


I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for our students' outstanding participation and dedication in the past week's events, competitions, and tournaments. Our students have showcased their skills, sportsmanship, and commitment to excellence from the various clubs to the competitive teams. It's truly inspiring to witness the passion and talent within our DMA community.



As we reflect on the achievements of the past week, let us also look forward to the upcoming Kindness Week. At DMA, kindness is not just a one-time event but a daily practice ingrained in our culture. It's about showing empathy, compassion, and respect towards one another, creating a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and included. During Kindness Week, we have the opportunity to amplify these values and celebrate acts of kindness, both big and small. Whether it's through random acts of kindness, uplifting messages, or community service projects, let us embrace the spirit of generosity and empathy that defines DMA.


I encourage each member of our community to participate actively in Kindness Week, spreading positivity and making a difference in the lives of others. Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness that extends far beyond our campus and into the wider world.  Together, we Make A TALL Difference Every Day with Every Child! 



Tabitha J. Preston
