A long-held magical tradition of The Polar Express — the tracks, the bells, the story… and all of us wrapped in cozy pajamas. Our kindergarteners were wide-eyed with wonder, and everyone was captivated by the story as the magic unfolded. A day filled with imagination and memories that will last long after the train fades into the distance. Thank you to our AMAZING librarian, Mrs. Zachary for keeping the magic alive through the love of reading.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, our kindergartners took time to show their gratitude for our school, their educators, and the joy of learning! 🍂💙✨ Rolling out the paper and enjoying a snack together as one before the break, has been a beloved McDougle tradition since 2004. We love seeing our youngest learners celebrate community and kindness! 👏🏼 #McDougleTradition #McDouglePride #GratitudeInAction #KindergartenJoy #SchoolCommunity #LearningTogether #KleinFamily #Promise2Purpose #McDougleMatters #McDougleMoments

Today our Principal and admin team celebrated our AMAZING custodians for the incredible work they do each and every day at McDougle!💚 From keeping our campus shining to creating a safe and welcoming space for students and staff, we are so thankful for their dedication and hard work. ✨

One of the things that makes our Principal so special is how she makes sure EVERY member of our McDougle family is recognized and celebrated for their contributions.
