Kashmir Dickson

On the career he plans to pursue.


For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of playing in the NFL. Football isn't just a sport to me it's a passion and a way of life. I know it takes hard work, discipline and determination to make it to the professional level, and I'm willing to give it everything I've got. Whether it's training, studying the game, or pushing myself to improve every day, I'm committed to doing
whatever it takes. One day, I hope to hear my name called on draft day and make an impact on the field, inspiring others the same way NFL players have inspired me.


His favorite memory at Dawn Treader:


My favorite memory was our annual Field Day, when the whole school came together for a day filled with games, laughter and friendly competition. I remember the excitement in the air as we lined up for the relay races, cheered each other on, and shared snacks under the sun. It was a day when everyone—from students to teachers—seemed to let loose and just enjoy being together. I felt a strong sense of belonging and joy, surrounded by friends who felt more like family. That day reminded me how special our school was—not just for what we learned, but for the memories we made and the relationships we built.

Imani Baker , a rising 8th grader at Dawn Treader, seamlessly blends her passion for music with a deep-rooted faith. From harmonizing with her beloved Ensemblet o navigating the supportive halls of Dawn Treader since kindergarten, Imani's journey is a testament to the power of community, mentorship, and a clear vision for the future. Her story, marked by a love for abstract art, a dedication to her studies, and an ambition to return to Dawn Treader as a teacher, highlights a young woman already living out the quiet yet impactful life described in her favorite Bible verse. Favorite thing about being in the Ensemble: My favorite thing is praising God. I like the people too. It’s really fun. We have so much fun together. I especially like how we do harmonies for specific songs. It was sometimes tricky to learn, but Ms. Williams taught and encouraged us, and we got it. Favorite thing about Dawn Treader : My fellow students and the staff members. I’ve been at dawn Treader since kindergarten, so I’ve met lots of people through the years. Some have moved on, some are still here. Mr. Berra does everything and I know I can always go to him when I have a problem. When I need help, all the teachers are there to listen. They pray for me and give me Bible verses and biblical advice. Favorite school subject: Music On what she wants to be when she grows up: I want to come back and be a teacher at Dawn Treader. I’d love to be the music teacher like Ms. Williams, who has taught me so much, but I’d teach any subject. Hobbies: Singing, painting (abstract art), dancing, reading, swimming Favorite Bible verse :1 Thessalonians 4: 11-12, NIV, which says, “and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that yo uwill not be dependent on anybody. ”“XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,” says Ms. Williams, music teacher and Ensemble leader
