Dallas ISD friends and family cheer it up at the Mavs

Dallas ISD employees and students fanned out last night to cheer on the Dallas Mavericks as they took on the Charlotte Hornets in a pre-season matchup. Although the Mavs fell short of victory, the Dallas ISD Friends and Family Night was a hit as staff and students came out in droves to take a break from their nightly routine and enjoy a night out with the family to support the hometown team.

The Woodrow Wilson High School Sweethearts were on hand to perform in the pre-game activities, and during a break in the game, Dallas ISD teachers were recognized for their dedication in the classroom. Superintendent Michael Hinojosa also joined in the fun with a pre-game warm-up at the free throw line, and Board of Trustees President Dan Micciche showed off his skills as he hurled a giant French fry into a larger-than-life Whataburger cup.

Regular season begins Oct. 26.
