5. October Celebrations
BUCKLE UP. Did you know that October is…
- National Principals Month
- Disability Awareness Month
- Dyslexia Awareness Month
- National Physical Therapy Month
- Career & College Success Month
- And a continuation of Hispanic Heritage month
- Not to mention Oct. 2 was custodian appreciation day
- Oct. 6 is National coaches day
- And next week is DPS Classified Employee Recognition Week, which celebrates paraprofessionals, facilities managers, food service workers and other team members who keep DPS running every day.
It takes a full CREW to keep our schools and DPS communities running smoothly. I know everyone is incredibly busy, but if you can, please take a moment to reflect, appreciate and celebrate the people in your community that contribute to making your school/team/department the unique space that it is.
