Johnny the K Enrichment Program

Sponsored by the Douglas PTO- Thank you!

Award winning performer John Kelleher, educates and inspires his audiences through his dynamic and interactive style of music. Johnny is a former fourth grade teacher who incorporates valuable lessons along with songs, movement, slideshow, audience participation, and an array of unique hats and disguises to help create a memorable performance. The focus of the program is "Be a Kid of Character!"

All Primary School students attended the performance Thursday morning in the cafeteria. Students learned about RESPECT, KINDNESS, being NICE to everyone, and CHARACTER!

Welcome to the Douglas Primary School Blog for 2014-2015!

I am so glad you decided to check out my Principal's Blog. I have had the privilege of working for the Douglas School District for the past 15 years. I was the Assistant Principal at the Douglas Middle High School, I was the Math Department Chair and taught Honors Algebra II at the high school,  and I am also the Director of Curriculum for the District.

Prior to coming to Douglas, I taught in the Webster School District. My experience includes Kindergarten, Grades 1,3,6,7, and 8. I was also an Adjunct Professor at  Nichols College for over 20 years.

I am excited to be the Principal of the Douglas Primary School.

I believe communication is vital. It is my goal to keep the lines of communication open with students, staff, parents, and the community. I will use this blog as a vehicle to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on at the Douglas Primary School.

I look forward to a productive year where we all work together to ensure our students receive the best education possible in a caring and safe environment.

Regards,

Principal Cindy Socha
