ASTRO HIGHLIGHTS
Principal’s Announcements
GROW, LEAD, TRANSFORM
Greetings:
October proved to be a memorable month for the
Astros. Our students had a beautiful
Homecoming, our fantastic football
team was recognized as the “High 5
Team of the Week”, our reenergized
PTSA held several engagement
meetings, our talented Fine Arts
students presented their first ensemble this year
involving our band, chorus, and drama programs,
and we capped the month off by celebrating our
Teacher of the Year, Ms. Ollienia Holloway. It is
important that we acknowledge and take the
time to celebrate small successes during our
journey. Identifying and celebrating success as it
happens helps us build a successful mind set. By
celebrating smaller success you are actually
communicating to your mind that “I am successful”. It is important that you know your own
weaknesses, but essential that you know that
you can succeed. Remember that ASTROS really means, All Students Traveling Roads Of
Success.
A special thank you to all who attended the
scheduled Community Meetings or joined PTSA.
Your present and future engagement means a
great deal to our students. Please take a few
minutes to review our monthly calendar for other
highlights and key events that will take place in
November. We have lots to be thankful for during the month of November.
All meetings will be held at Douglass High School
Cluster Planning: Thursday, November 12 @ 8:30 AM
Cluster Community Meeting: Thursday, December 10 @ 5:30
Best regards,
@APSDouglsass High
