From Dallas Morning News Education reporters Tawnell Hobbs and Diane Rado:

We encourage thoughtful reader contributions to complement coverage of the DallasIndependent School District. Last week, we rolled out a list of accolades about thegood work of DISD students.

publish the DISD kudos between Wednesday and Friday of each week. We will

accept DISD-related kudos from teachers, administrators, event and club sponsors

and other formal groups and associations. Parents should ask their child's sponsor orcoordinator to submit information about the award and all DISD students involved

to prevent duplication of submissions. DISD students, teachers, administrators,

support employees and volunteers will be recognized in this feature. Submissions

should be as succinct as possible no three-page press releases, please. Make sure to

include the name, date and brief description of the event; the correct spelling ofhonorees; contact numbers and any jpeg photos. Please send the submissions [email protected]@dallasnews.com, with TROPHY TIME in thesubject line. Some submissions could appear in the newspaper.

party. If you would like to let me know about your graduation party plans

or if you would like to check with me to see if another family has scheduled

something for the same date/time, please feel free to contact me,

[email protected].
