Coming up at Douglass! Don’t forget the school wide initiative Warning up Memphis. We are collecting new and gently used Blankets, Scarves and Coats to distribute to the homeless in the city. The class that collects the most will receive a pizza party. Also the candy cane sell is in full forward motion.

With immense gratitude, Douglass K-8 thank our partners and friends at Fedex Cares and Operation Warm for gifting our elementary students with coats for the winter season!

Each student had the opportunity to pick out a coat of their choice and tour the FedEx electric truck. The FedEx and Operation Warm Heart staff were high energy, kind, and AMAZING! DK8 truly felt the love! We look forward to our continued partnership.

🦁🐒🐍 Our school's zoo field trip for our formative assessment All-Stars was a wild adventure! 🌿🐾 We had a blast exploring the animal kingdom, from lions to monkeys and everything in between. Learning about these incredible creatures was both educational and fun. 📚🤩 Thanks to all the teachers and chaperones who made this day possible! 🙌

Congratulations to our October employee of the month, Ms. Jenkins!!!

Name Anjerika Jenkins-Wood
Subject Taught/Role: Kindergarten- all subjects

Hobbies/Interests: I love traveling and trying new foods.
WHY you Teach: I teach because it is something I am naturally good at. My father is a preacher, my grandfather is a preacher, and all of my uncles too! So, getting a message out comes naturally to me.

I am grateful for this honor and recognition from my peers. It means a lot to me that my hard work does not go unnoticed. I thank all of you and encourage you to stay in the fight for the children. This job is in no way easy, but we work at DK8 where only the strong reside and thrive.

Future Teaching Goals/Aspirations for this year: I will have my Master's degree this year, and I plan to continue teaching at The DK8 and enriching great minds. I strive to meet or exceed expectations on my upcoming observations.
