    Volunteer Registration
    Don't forget that volunteer registration takes
    place in the library media center every school
    day between the hours of 8:45 and 3:45 through
    October 31. If you think you may want to
    chaperone a field trip or help out in a classroom,
    please register now. It takes one - two weeks
    for the background check, so please plan
    ahead. You'll need to bring your driver's license
    number and your Social Security
    number. Thank you for all you do for our
    Douglas students!

    Carpool Notes
    Would you like to make carpool move more
    efficiently? It is very helpful for those of us
    reading numbers at carpool if you hang your
    carpool number from your rear view mirror.
    You can easily do this by tying string to the top
    of the card or clipping the card to a child's
    skirt/pant hanger and hanging it from the mirror.
    When cards are clipped to the visor or placed on
    the dashboard the glare from the sun,
    windshield wipers, the dark reflective strip at the
    top of the windshield, etc. make it difficult for us
    to read the numbers. We appreciate your help
    and your patience.








    Welcome Mr. Burns!
    We are thrilled to introduce our new principal,
    Mr. Derek Burns, who comes to us from
    Maryland. You will have a chance to meet Mr.
    Burns at our Open House on September 18

    BoxTops and Labels for Education
    The next BoxTops collection deadline is October
    24th. Please neatly trim the General Mills
    BoxTops from participating products, put them in
    a plastic baggy with your child's teacher's names
    on a piece of paper and send them in to your
    child's teacher or place them in the collection bin
    outside the media center. Please make sure the
    expiration dates are clear on each trimmed
    BoxTop. For a complete list of participating
    products, please visit BoxTops4Education.com.

    We are also collecting labels from Campbell's
    products. Each label is designated a certain
    number of points that we redeem for
    merchandise that the school can use. The labels
    are the UPCs and beverage caps from
    participating products. For a complete list of
    products, please visit labelsforeducation.com.

    If you have any questions, please contact Holly
    Kubovcik at hollykuborocks@gmail.com Thank
    you!

    Douglas Community Garden
    Keep a lookout for information on the produce
    we donated to Plant a Row for the Hungry this
    summer from our very own community garden!
    We are still harvesting and taking in donations!
    As we get ready to plant for the fall season,
    please consider volunteering with me to help our
    students learn about how we grow food and how
    we can use this food to serve our community. If
    you are new to gardening and want to learn
    more, I would be happy to share what I know!
    Send an email to parent volunteer "Garden
    Lady" Liza Coonse at
    elizabethcoonse@gmail.com to learn more
    about volunteer opportunities and needs in the
    produce garden.

    via Twitter this year as well as upcoming events
    and information. Follow us on Twitter for all the
    most up-to-date happenings at

    Sneaker Talk from Mrs. H
    Welcome back to all our families and students. I
    am the Physical Education teacher and each
    month I will have a special recipe for your family
    to try along with PE news. I will begin with a
    shout out to everyone for raising $11,173.07 to
    aid in our fight over heart disease. Jump Rope
    For Heart was a huge success because of your
    beautiful hearts. That was the top year EVER for
    Douglas.

    TENNIS SHOES, tennis shoes, tennis shoes!
    Please make sure this becomes a fashion
    statement for our children every day, not just PE
    day. We have recess every day and walk/run a
    few laps. Our Fitness Testing will begin mid-
    September and end with our mile run test in
    October. I am so looking forward to sharing
    many health and recipe tips with you over
    coming school year.

    Fitness fact for this month: Did you know
    Coconut water is great for rehydration? Check it
    out on your next fun trip to the grocery store!
    Have your children let me know if you make this
    smoothie for your family:

    Strawberry Smoothie with Pineapple juice or
    coconut water
    2 cups pineapple juice or coconut water
    10-12 fresh strawberries
    2 tsp of ground flax seeds for extra fiber
    (any grocery store carries these)
    ice cubes
    Blend together for a high protein breakfast or
    afternoon snack for the whole family
    ENJOY!!! Have a wonderful time walking and
    playing with your children!

    Por favor, asegurese que su estudiante tenga
    tenis todos los dias. Es muy peligroso para las
    ninas correr y hacer educacion fisica en tacones
    y sandalias. Gracias

    Kim Hamilton(Mrs. H)
