One of our goals this year is to increase building-wide alignment of our weekly social emotional learning lessons, content, and economy of language. With that being said, we have a "SEL Question of the Week" that we discuss in our morning meetings and always aligns to monthly focus. Ms. Watson creates a weekly video to launch the week as well.

Please ask your students about these questions and about the conversations they are having at school!

April Focus: Excellence

Week 1: What can you do when things get hard?

It's that time of year again and our Dora Moore PTSA Eagle "Soaree" (adult ticketed event) and auction is fast approaching.  We need your help in securing auction items.

We are asking folks to ask 2 - 5 of the businesses they love and frequent to donate to our auction.  When you email or talk to these businesses you can present them with our information letter.  Once you do so, or if you know specific businesses that you plan to talk to please make sure to let everyone know by adding it to our auction leads list.  When a business has donated you can present them with this donation receipt.  All gift cards, vouchers, or in-kind donations can be brought to the school for a PTSA Board member to collect.

Please reach out at doramooresptsa@gmail.com to coordinate donated item drop off or with any questions and THANK YOU in advance for helping us!  Also, please let us know if you are interested in joining the committee.
