Dear DM Families,

Thank you to everyone who made it out to our annual Block Party on Friday! We had a huge showing and we even ran out of food early this year for the first time in this events history. A special thank you to each individual who volunteered their time, talents, and resources to contribute to the Block Party's success. We appreciate you!

Check out a few pictures from the event on our IG page: https://www.instagram.com/dora_moore_ece8

This is the last full, 5-day week of school for the school year--and we'll end it with Field Day on Friday, May 23rd!

Mr. Janson & Mrs. Watson

Field Day on May 23rd

This ECE-5th grade event runs from 9:30am - 12:30pm. New this year, the volunteer times will be split into two shifts; 9:30am -11:00am/10:45am - 12:30pm (and of course you can sign-up for both shifts!) We need 24 volunteers for each shift to facilitate the various Field Day activities/stations. To sweeten the pot, each volunteer gets a free Kona Ice to quench your thirsts! The homeroom teachers will rotate with each class to manage and herd their children. 

Sign-up to support and pull-off Field Day for our students here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0945A4AA2FAAFD0-56606359-field

Middle School participates in a series of grade-level competitions in the afternoon and then play the staff in an annual Staff vs. Middle School Kickball game that the school watches.
