Good morning, DBH families! It’s time for Bernie the Giraffe’s joke of the day!

Why don’t giraffes ever get lost? Because they always have a great view of where they’re going!

And Bernie knows exactly where our students should be going this morning — to school!

Every school day matters. Being present and on time helps our students learn, grow, and stay connected with their teachers and classmates.

Breakfast begins at 7:45 AM, and instruction starts promptly at 8:00 AM.

Bernie is stretching his neck to see all of our students walking through the doors today! We’ll see you soon!
