Dear Academy Families,
As the world comes together to celebrate the Olympic Games, we are reminded that the Olympics are about much more than medals and competition. They are a powerful symbol of perseverance, teamwork, respect, and striving to be our very best—values we hope to nurture in our students every day here at the Academy.
Olympic athletes spend years practicing, learning from mistakes, and pushing through challenges. In many ways, this mirrors the work our children do each day at school. Whether it’s learning a new math concept, practicing reading, working through a disagreement with a friend, or trying something that feels difficult at first, our students are developing the same determination and resilience we admire in Olympians.
The Olympics also remind us of the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. Athletes represent different countries, cultures, and backgrounds, yet they come together with mutual respect and a shared sense of purpose. In our school community, we see this same spirit when students collaborate, show kindness, celebrate one another’s successes, and support each other through challenges.
We encourage families to use this Olympic season as a conversation starter at home—talking with your children about setting goals, working hard, showing respect, and doing their best even when the outcome is uncertain. These lessons extend far beyond the classroom and will serve our children throughout their lives.
Thank you for partnering with us as we help our students grow not only academically, but also as kind, compassionate, resilient, and responsible individuals. Together, we are cheering them on every step of the way.
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
