We would like to thank and congratulate all of the students who participated in the Spanish Olympia on May 3, 2012. These DSA Elementary students competed against both High School and Middle School students in the following categories; Poetry, Art, Singing and Dance. Nadia Santillan placed 2nd in her Folkloric Dance and the "Intentalo" dance group placed 3rd. The fourth grades (Alexandria, Trevor, Jesus and Jack) did an outstanding job in reciting their poem "Si Me Olvidas" By Pablo Neruda. Rain Brown who performed " Un ano sin Lluvia " serenaded the auditorium beautifully. And Lariah Allen and Paige Jordan were on fire as they dance to "Fuego" by the Cheetah Girls. I also would like to thank Damien Wrenn and Isaac Dreapau for their Artwork. Great Job guys!!. Last, but not least, we would like to give a big thanks to Katy Flores who volunteered her time to teach our students' their dance. Once again thanks to all students, volunteers and parents we could not have done it without you!!! .

Valerie Carter, Parent Liaison of our PTO and also our parent is on STAR Magazine which is the magazine of The Foundation for Oklahoma City Public Schools. You may read the article below.
"Valerie Carter’s daughter ended up at Dove Science Academy Elementary School almost by accident. But it’s no accident Carter is now a mainstay at the school she’s grown to love. “I saw how much they were putting into the children, and I had to be part of that,” she said. Carter serves as the Parent-Teacher Organization’s parent liaison, but that’s just the beginning. She helps organize events like the annual community health and career fair, the black history assembly, grant applications for playground improvement and numerous fundraising activities. She and another parent also maintain the school’s Facebook page and create school newsletters. They also organize teacher appreciation initiatives and help with field trips. “I’m constantly coming up with things to do,” Carter said. Teachers and fellow parents notice her efforts. “She has made sure the communications process has been smoothed out over the years, and everyone is kept on the same page when it comes to school policies and programs,” said Amber Hallaba, who also serves on the PTO board. “She has become the cohesiveness between the groups and created a consistency in our programs and the process in which they are implemented.”
