Welcome to D.A.T.E. Discovery,
My name is Endia Howard. I am exciting about another year of learning and exploration.
D.A.T.E. Discovery students can look forward to a great year of cross-curriculum activities with real-world experiences and applications. Please encourage your child to peruse the enrichment websites and read books from the 2015-2016 Georgia Children's Book Award List.
