Dear Staff,

Everyone has a story, and each story is important.  At DUSD, we are surrounded by stories of hope, commitment, sacrifice, struggle,and courage.  If we want to be inspired, we only have to connect and listen. February is the perfect time to listen with your heart and continue to engage with your colleagues, students, and parents in supportive and meaningful ways - even the smallest gestures of kindness go a long way to brighten someone's day. 

Kindness truly matters... Happy Valentine's Day!
