Mr. Dominick is an incredible third grade teacher at the Chittick Elementary School in Mattapan with Coach Kevin. He is an adamant believer in the importance of physical fitness and healthy living for children. As a leader of Chittick's track and field club, Mr. Dominick understands that everyone has the ability to lead a healthy life. He preaches the importance of healthy eating, trying your best at all times, and believing in yourself.

Throughout the day, Mr. Dominick is sure to utilize breaks where his class can stand up, move their bodies, and prepare themselves to learn. When playing games with his class outside, Mr. Dominick is always first to jump into the action, leading his class by example and, ultimately, showing how much fun each student can have by playing together. With his playful personality and commitment to living a healthy lifestyle, Mr. Dominick helps energize education at the Chittick Elementary School.
