On that last day of the fall semester, Dayton ISD recognized and celebrated its first-year teachers. This year has been a challenge for all educators, but DISD’s first-year teachers have risen to the challenges and have done an amazing job. On Friday, January 15, 2021, in partnership with the local Mu Iota Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society Internation, a professional organization for women educators, DISD staff hand-delivered words of praise, celebration, and encouragement, as well as a small gift bag of classroom supplies to each first-year teacher in the district. The gift bags are provided by the Mu Iota Chapter as their annual service project to promote the growth of educators and excellence in education. DISD is so glad these promising new educators have joined the Bronco family and we look forward to many years of dedicated service from these individuals.
