Thanks to a generous donation of tables from a Douglas family, the PTA was able to add tilting umbrellas and create multiple outdoor seating areas like the one pictured above in our K-1 outdoor space.
Another set of tables is set to arrive soon, and we need your help painting them on Saturday!
We are hoping to have at least 12 volunteers, but more are definitely welcome as there are a few other projects around campus that could use a helping hand — and we would graciously accept that help on this National Day of Service.
If you missed this session with Principal Burns on Monday, never fear! Here are the slides and recording from the event.
As always, if you have questions, please feel free to reach out to the school’s main office (919-881-4894), your students’ teachers or Principal Burns. The PTA is also here to help: Contact us here.
We can’t believe it either! As you enjoy the last days of summer break, please mark your calendars for some upcoming school events. And keep an eye on the Douglas website for event updates and other important information like supply lists.
