1st Grade Dance
Informance
What do stories and dances have in common? Beginning,
middle and end! Each first grade class is using a book as inspiration to
choreograph a dance. Just like the books, their dances must have a beginning,
middle and end. Each book was chosen for its connection to the 1st
grade science or social studies curriculum. Come see 1st grade creativity
in action as they dance the stories on Tuesday, June 3rd, at 2:45 pm in the
gym.
The Dragon Theatre presents THE ADVENTURES
OF LEWIS AND CLARK, a musical by Roger Emerson and John Jacobson. The
remarkable story of Lewis and Clark's journey across the continent comes to
life in this clever 45-minute adaptation. There will be three performances:
Thursday, June 5th at 7:00 p.m.
Friday, June 6th at 10:00 a.m. (for grades 3-5)
Friday, June 6th at 2:00 p.m. (for grades K-2)
We hope you will join us for this wonderful production.

Thanks for helping us take care of our school's library!
We would like to say Thank You to our after-school students
that participated in the second annual "Books Come Alive" informance.
They did a great job with their costumes, their lines and their
performances! With the help from two of
Sanderson's finest, Justin Crawford and Jeremy Walden, they made
their books come alive! We also would
like to thank our parents for all their continued support in our after-school
programs. Have a great summer!
A
letter from our Principal:
Dear Wonderful Douglas Parents,
Thank you for your support both in volunteer
time and participation in special events and projects. Because of your time and
efforts in working with our staff, you have helped make this year a successful
year for our children J!
As you know, our Douglas School Community
as well as our magnet program, have continued to grow. This growth requires
more time, effort, and resources from everyone. This year with the rapid growth
we experienced, you, our parents, met this challenge for providing additional
efforts with your tremendous commitment of time, support, and resources. What a
big difference your extra efforts made in being sure the staff could provide
opportunities for all children to participate in all the fun,
educational experiences such as field trips, cultural arts events, and special
grade level and class activities!
Thank you for making Douglas such a great
place for all students! We wish you all the best and hope that you have a
wonderful and safe summer breakJ.
Gratefully
yours,
Dr. Susan
Spivey, Principal
Ms. Claudia
Bazemore, Assistant Principal
