Summer Book Fair

I am very excited that this year we are trying something new to encourage reading throughout the summer. To keep the students excited about learning new things through reading, Dolby will be having a THREE DAY Book Fair May 19, 22, and 23. The purpose is to get books into the hands of children right as summer begins. Parents are welcome to come by the library to shop when you come up to school for your child(ren)’s Honors programs. The Book Fair will be open from 8:00 - 2:30 each of those three days. There is no online fair this time because of the close proximity to the end of school.

Dolby Students Recognized

It was a joyful time last week at the Calcasieu Parish School Board meeting on Tuesday, May 9th, as two Dolby students were recognized for all of their hard work and diligence. Isaac Jimney was recognized for achieving over 1,000 AR points this year alone, and Reece Patterson was recognized for being the Region 3 Student of the Year. We are so proud of their leadership roles. They have truly let their light shine this year!

Lego Club in Action!

Dolby Lego Club's charity project this year was to collected beads for the SWLA Autism Society. We had a club goal of 5,000, but ended up collecting 23,840. We had a grade level competition for whoever brought the most beads won an Ice Cream Party. Our 1st graders won with over 6,000 beads donated. Every year the Autism Society SWLA Chapter collects, sorts and resells Mardi Gras beads. All funds collected through this fundraiser stays in the SWLA community to help provide support and opportunities for persons with Autism and their families.

Congratulations to Irene Guillory for being selected as the 2016-2017 Dolby Teacher of the Year!!!

She always dresses professionally, maintains a positive attitude, works hard to ensure each child is successful and feels loved and special. She is flexible and works well under pressure and with any changes that come up. She is willing to help others and steps up to all challenges. Mrs. Guillory is a Seven Habits warrior!
