Magical Moment "SPOTLIGHT" - Mrs. Rojas, Mrs. Ortega, Coach Strickland, Mrs. Paz, and Mr. Davidson
This week's Magical Moment Spotlight is on our educators who participated alongside our Guzick GIANTS in the Dallas Mayor's Race. The purpose of the race is to encourage Dallas ISD students to become physically active. It is a fun annual event for our students to participate in a marathon run through Downtown Dallas. The event is aligned to Dallas ISD's mission of promoting active kids in the community.
