It is June! We have all made it through one of the most challenging and trying school year's in recent memories. We have so much to step back and reflect on. We have so much to lament, as it relates to the pandemic, to threats to our democracy, or to the persistent virus of racism in this country. But, we also have so much to celebrate. Our scholars have truly overcome some incredible obstacles this year and persevered in pursuit of their bright futures.
So many of you deserve recognition for making this year a success:
- Scholars: Thank you for showing your grit and perseverance to make this year a good one, despite the distance and new learning platforms
- Teachers & Staff: Your ability to move from virtual school to in-person in a blink, all while keeping high expectations was inspiring
- Families: I appreciate your willingness to adapt to a new mode of learning while partnering with DPAC to hold your scholar to our high standards
- Community: I am grateful to educate scholars with community members who continue to provide us resources and support to make our school thrive
This year was a true team effort and I look forward to all the great successes 2021-2022 will bring.
Take time to rest this month. In a few weeks I will email the DPAC community with our 'Start of the Schoo Year' email!
In Partnership,
Adam Johnson
Executive Director
