Keep On Clipping Box Tops

We’re collecting all month – so keep on sending in those General Mills Box Tops for Education. They mean important dollars for Douglas!

New Douglas T-Shirts

Our new T-Shirt Design will be on display at Arts Night! We will have the opportunity to order them at that event and during the following week. Pricing information will be sent home in next week’s Monday folder! Thanks to the many who submitted designs. We're looking forward to having our student-designed shirts for all to wear!

Wrapping Paper Wrap-Up

We will have the drawing for the stuffed animals at the end of this week, so if you have not yet turned in your sales forms and money, please bring it to school with you on Tuesday! We have many students who have not yet turned in their sales forms, and hope that we will have a wide participation. This is our major fundraising event for the year, and we have many new programs we want to be able to support! If you would prefer to make a donation to the PTA in lieu of selling the wrapping paper, a minimum donation of $40 will enable your student to participate in the year-end jump party. Please call or email Kim Lamb with questions: klamb2@nc.rr.com or 878-0848.
