Upcycle, Recycle, Youcycle Art Contest
In celebration of Earth Day on April 22, Douglas Elementary will have its first annual Upcycle, Recycle, Youcycle Art Contest. Create an original work of art to celebrate Earth Day.
You can choose to:
UPCYCLE – Create something new from something old (adding materials to an old item.
RECYCLE – Use recyclable material to create a new piece of art.
YOUCYCLE – You come up with an idea that can combine both ideas or just create your own masterpiece using whatever you find.Â
Recycle materials for you to use can be found outside Ms. Edgerly’s classroom or use whatever you have at home.
All grades are encouraged to participate in the contest. More information will be sent home about the contest after Spring Break.Â
Burn off some steam and fly high with the whole family at DEFY trampoline park! A portion of the proceeds goes back to the school. Be sure to fill out a waiver ahead of time at defy.com/defy-raleigh and show the flyer below when you purchase your tickets. See you there!
Dragon Fire officially ended on November 30, but we still have some incoming donations trickling in. As of today, we have raised $13,000 which was just shy of our goal of $16,000 in 16 days. We greatly appreciate all of the donations, as well as everyone who participated in the coin College Challenge Week (N.C. State brought home another win the second year in a row!). Because of your generosity, here are a few examples of items we are able to fund now:
Our next fundraiser, Raise Craze, will occur in the Spring and will help us fund our Science Center as well as update the media center furniture. We will also be working on finding company sponsors, matches, and donations, too.
Because we were so close to achieving our goal, Ms. Faison-Bullock has graciously agreed to give ALL students a PAJAMA DAY on Friday, December 9 to celebrate!
The Douglas Spirit Rock is available throughout the school year for rental and painting. For a suggested donation of $25, rent the rock for a day and paint a message of support for a Douglas student, teacher, staff member — or celebrate an event!
When you rent the rock, you’ll select the day you want your message to appear. However, your rental starts at 4:30 p.m. the day before so you have time to paint the rock after carpool and it’s ready for the next morning!
After you’ve painted the rock, share your design on Facebook and tag us!
We’re winding down the school year with a few more opportunities to support Douglas and our local community — while enjoying some shopping and dining in the process!
Please also plan to join us for our last General PTA Meeting of the year on May 27.
