Yesterday’s Pink Out for Pinna was so special! DAS was taken over by a sea of pink as our students and staff came together to support our very own Ms. Pinna. 🩷

Thank you to everyone who participated and donated. Seeing our school community show up for one of our own is what makes DAS such a special place.

Yesterday, we had the honor of welcoming Florida State Representative Kim Berfield to our campus! Representative Berfield spent time with some of our 7th grade civics students, leading them through an interactive mock trial that gave them a firsthand look at how our government and legislative processes work.

Our students had the opportunity to step into different roles, think critically, and see how the concepts they're learning in the classroom connect to the real world. Experiences like these make learning meaningful and inspire our students to become informed, engaged citizens and future leaders!

Thank you to Representative Berfield for taking the time to visit our students and provide such a memorable learning experience!

Our first Tiger Buck Store of the school year was a success! 🐯

As part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program, students earn Tiger Bucks for demonstrating positive behavior, participating in class, making good choices, and more!

🌙🪨 Talk about an out-of-this-world STEM experience!

We were incredibly honored to have ACTUAL moon rocks and meteorites visit DAS! Our students had the rare opportunity to see real samples from beyond Earth right inside their own classrooms. 🚀✨

Our STEM Coordinator, Dr. Bradner, traveled to different classrooms sharing lessons, answering questions, and helping students take a closer look at these incredible pieces of space history.

How often can you say you saw something that actually came from the Moon during the school day?! 🤯 Experiences like this are what make STEM learning so memorable!
