No matter how much you prepare, plan ahead, or spread it out, the last few weeks of school are an exciting whirlwind of activity! To make May a little easier for everyone, your PTA has rearranged a few events, with the most notable being our joyful celebration of Teacher Appreciation in February. This way, we can embrace May with renewed spirits and plenty of energy! Together, we’ve achieved so much—we’ve successfully completed our two fundraisers, and it has been a joy to watch our kids spell, dance, and sing their hearts out throughout another wonderful school year! Just last week, the Spring Musical concluded, and if you weren’t able to attend, let me tell you, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and emotions. We’ve accomplished remarkable things, and with only two events left, there’s so much more to look forward to! We’ve got this!
FIELD DAY
How Coach Hager prepares for class
We grew up with these and they were epic!!! A full day outside playing games and eating popsicles under the warm sun. From tug-of-war to three-legged races, every game was an adventure that brought laughter and camaraderie. If this doesn’t epitomize the excitement of elementary school and the sweet memories that come with it, I don’t know what does! The thrill of waiting in line for our favorite flavors of popsicles, the feel of grass beneath our feet, and the sound of cheers ringing in the air made each moment unforgettable. In August, Coach Hager was planning and getting the ball in motion for this highly anticipated day! Coach Hager worked closely with the Field Day Committee chairs, Will and Amy Yarborough, who poured their hearts into every detail. Together, they have meticulously crafted a field day unlike any Douglas has ever experienced, promising new games, thrilling competitions, and bonding opportunities that would create memories to last a lifetime! There are a few slots left to fill, lets show them our support by signing up for a slot! All help is welcomed and very much appreciated. Click HERE to volunteer today!

Campus Clean-Up, Keeping our campus so fresh and so clean!
Many hands make light work, and boy isn’t that the truth this year! I know a lot of you have noticed that the Grounds and Garden committee chairs: Erin Taylor and Casey Young, have worked tirelessly year-round to ensure our campus is in the finest form. We are incredibly appreciative of them as they have done an outstanding job! They have reached out only two other times this year asking for more helping hands and they are hoping for one last push during the school year to beautify our grounds for the block party and the Fifth Grade Celebration. Let’s show them our appreciation by signing up for a slot to aid them in their ongoing quest! Please know, if you are on or near the campus during the weekend or after school, picking up trash is always appreciated. Pulling a weed or two is also encouraged. Please consider signing up HERE
