Happy Friday!
We just wanted to send a huge wave of gratitude your way! We are grateful for the families who could join us for our Trickster Theatre performance this week. The students were absolutely incredible, and your presence in the audience made it even more special. Thanks for cheering them on!
And wow, where do we even begin with our volunteers? You are all phenomenal! The countless hours you poured into making this performance a reality – from crafting amazing costumes and building a fantastic set to helping with everything backstage – didn't go unnoticed. Your dedication and hard work were truly the magic behind the scenes, which also includes our Book Fair volunteers! We're so incredibly lucky to have such a supportive and talented community.
Thanks again for everything. Wishing you a fantastic weekend!
Cheers,
DDS Administrative Team
Casino Volunteers Needed:
We are looking for volunteers to help on May 7th and 8th, 2025 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. We have lots of shifts available and need many volunteers to make this a success. This fundraiser will result in between $60,000 and $80,000 in funding that supports all sorts of activities at Douglasdale School.
You do not need a police clearance to volunteer, nor do you need to have a child at Douglasdale School. If you or another adult (friend, family member, etc.) can help us out by working a casino shift, please let us know by emailing ddsvolunteering@gmail.com.
