From classroom to squadron: Second graders celebrate 56th Rescue Squadron

Ms. Tatiyona Moten, an Educational Aide whose journey from DoWEA student to educator-in-training represents the very best of what it means to learn, grow, and give back.

As we enter the final months of the school year, our calendar quickly fills with the moments that make this time so meaningful—spring sports, prom, high school graduation, and important transitions from elementary to middle school and from middle to high school. These milestones reflect growth, achievement, and new beginnings for our students, and we are proud to celebrate each one alongside you.

As we enter the holiday season, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to each of you. Your dedication, support, and partnership play a vital role in helping our school communities flourish. Our students continue to show remarkable resilience, curiosity, and determination—qualities that shine brightly, especially during this special time of year, thanks to the encouragement and care they receive from families and teachers alike.
