Dear Dwight Community,I join you in celebrating another banner year for Dwight Dubai! Our students’ sparks of genius continued to flyas our new facilities were filled with more and more activity and joy. Our campus celebrated many cherishedcommunity moments, such as the Family BBQ. That community expanded outward to our global colleaguesthrough events like Sparkathon and the Global Music Concert — proudly hosted by everyone at Dwight Dubai.There were a few memorable moments from mother nature as well, though the historic rains that shut downour campus for a time still couldn’t stop the forward momentum of our steadfast community of learners.To our graduates, congratulations on reaching this tremendous crescendo of learning! All of us at Dwight havebeen proud of the steps you have taken to arrive at this next chapter in life.As the Global Music Concert highlights each year, music is a universal language that weaves its magic throughall of us while leaving a significant imprint on us forever.

Each of you has made our community better by adding your own special lyrics and notes to ourvibrant song. Your distinctive tunes and melodies have inspired your younger Dwight peers, while yourcollective chorus as a class has made the school stronger, more thoughtful, and creative. Thank you.Plato stated, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life toeverything.” We hope that, as you embark on your next journey, you too will let your wings soar withpossibility, find that continued passion and spark that uplifts you, and leap at all opportunities in life.

What a wonderful year we had! What a journey it has been! We played, danced, and sang. Welearned our names, our ages, and all about ourselves. We discovered where we are on this earth,what we eat, and how we grow. We explored the world around us with curious minds and openhearts.Together, we built friendships and learned to share and care for one another. We painted,crafted, and expressed ourselves in so many ways. Our classroom was filled with laughter, joy,and the excitement of new discoveries every day.As we look back on this year, we see how much each child has grown—not just in height, but inconfidence and abilities. The shy tears of the first days transformed into smiles ofaccomplishment and pride. We are so proud of each child’s progress and the wonderful littlepeople they are becoming. We are excited to see what the future holds for our amazing Pre-KA children. The sky's the limit for these bright, innovative minds.PRE-K AMS MALAK RAHALHomeroom TeacherMS MARIA TORRALBALearning Assistant10
