DESOTO — The Dallas Mavericks were able to help bring some sense of normalcy on Friday to a lot of students from Katherine Johnson Technology Magnet Academy Elementary School in the DeSoto Independent School District.
That’s when the Mavs, in conjunction with Jefferson Dental & Orthodontics, held a Back-To-School Drive-Through Celebration that netted the students a T-shirt, coloring book, dental supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE). According to DeSoto ISD superintendent D’Andre Weaver, the goodwill gesture by the Mavs was just what the doctor ordered.
“It’s massive,” Weaver said. “Oh my God! To have an organization like the Dallas Mavericks be here to welcome and say hello to our parents, our students.
