Wisdom Weekly
Week of April 27, 2026
Dear Academy Families,
Ms. DiMarcello, four members of the DWCA Good Deed Council, their families and I recently had the privilege of attending the Loukoumi Good Deeds Summit in Como, Italy, and it was truly an inspiring and meaningful experience. Being surrounded by passionate students and dedicated educators from around the world, all part of the International Councils, was both energizing and reaffirming.
What stood out most was the shared commitment to a common goal: fostering kindness, empathy, and understanding in our schools and communities. Listening to students speak about the impact of kindness initiatives in their own lives and schools was incredibly powerful. Their voices are a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can create lasting change.
Connecting with fellow educators who are equally committed to this mission reinforced how important our work is. Teaching kindness is not just an addition to the curriculum—it is essential to shaping thoughtful, responsible, and caring individuals. The summit served as a global reminder that when we prioritize kindness, we help build stronger, more inclusive communities.
I return from this experience deeply inspired and proud to be part of the Loukoumi Foundation that believes in the power of kindness to transform lives. I look forward to continuing this important work together with our students and staff.
Warm regards,
Miriam Bonici

School Email Addresses
Dear Divine Wisdom Families,
As part of our Communication Initiative, we are streamlining how families connect with the school. Last week, we introduced online Back-to-School forms. This year, we are moving to Shared Email Boxes (Gmelius) to ensure messages are received, tracked, and organized. Families may still call, but email is now the preferred method of contact.
A Quick Reference list of shared emails is below and attached you can save to your phone or computer. Please include your child’s name, grade, and class number when emailing.
We are always here to help!
Mrs. M. Bonici- Principal
