It has come to my attention that a group of people are attempting to change the mascot of our school Double File Trail Elementary, which is an Indian Brave. This Brave has been our mascot for over 30 years and is synonymous with our school! Our Brave represents courage, bravery and the great history of our community! People need to remember that this school was named to honor an area of historical importance and significance. Choosing an Indian brave as a representative of this school was intended to acknowledge the importance of and to honor Indians who settled this area. There is nothing derogatory or offensive intended or implied. We love our Brave Mascot and we want to keep him at our school! Please consider the opinion of what I’ve seen is the majority of parents and folks of our community! We love our DFT Brave!! Be Brave, Choose Kind, Lead On!
