DJAMS SERVICE AWARD BRONCO PRIDE
Many students have shown interest in DJAMS community service program, Bronco Pride. The awards will recognize both academic accomplishments as well as school and community service efforts. This is an excellent opportunity for your sons and daughters’ achievements to be recognized. We would hope that all parents encourage their sons/daughters to get involved in the “Bronco Pride” awards. Students are getting involved at school and community by adopting a planter, helping in the library, assisting teachers, and tutoring. If you have any questions or comments about the awards, please contact Mrs. Balogh. Due date for Bronco Pride is May 4, 2011.
