When I was new to D.I. I always thought what makes it so successful at David? Why the same parents and children want to be a part of it again and again? Why some teachers really took interest in this program and HOW Wendy could pull it together every year single-handedly? I guess I found out last Thursday (dec. 2nd) When I reached the mini gym, I was told that a Manager's son got hurt in the playground and she had to take a quick trip to the pharmacy and I was completely prepared to fill in for her but when i was waiting for her 4th grade team ,I could see Raj walking briskly towards me ! I saw her son Aryan's cheeck and nose badly bruised and asked if they wanted to go back but I was amazed to hear that she wanted to stay with her team and coach !!! Aryan told me he was fine and excited about the meeting and didn't want to miss it !
Although I tried checking on the team as many times as I could but they all looked very determined, fully engrossed in their project.KUDOS to Raj and Aryan and all team members for being such good sports.Guys I am so PROUD of you and love you for the dedication and love you showed for your project.
This is exactly what we try to teach the D.I. kids : team work, dedication, responsibility , problem solving,ability to manage change and this 4th grade team has accompalished all that !! Good job everyone.
