Wow what a start to 2025! 3 snow days! I am sure the kids have loved every minute of it. I will say I have enjoyed my fireplace and Netflix. :)

As we come back into school this week, we will be learning all about teamwork and the importance of students being able to work together as team in many different situations. We are a family at Dowell and teamwork is an important part of any family.

If you would like your logo featured on all 560 student shirts we are looking for sponsors. Booster-thon does not provide the shirts for our students, we have to buy them ourselves as a school. We are offering sponsorships of 250 for a small logo on the back of the shirts or 500 for a larger logo with contact information. If you know of anyone that might be interested please email Ms. Claggett.

With cold season in full swing, if your child needs cough drops in school, per our guidelines, you can send cough drops in (in the original packaging) with a note. The cough drops can only be given to the student for a max of 3 days.

The mobile dentist will be coming to Dowell on February 7th. Paper consent forms should have been sent home with your child last week. If you plan to have your child seen and are filling out the paper consent, they must be returned to Nurse West no later than January 16th. There is also an online option to sign up. I digital version of the form is attached. If you need another consent form, reach out and I can get one to you.

Any questions, please feel free to reach out to Nurse West by email or phone. Westl@clavertnet.k12.md.us/ 443-550-9488

This month our trait is teamwork. I wonder what amazing teamwork I will see this month?
