On a recent field trip to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, some of our 3rd graders got a "behind the scenes" tour of the big bone room. Our PTO Treasurer, Beth Ellis, works at the Museum and provided this group of 3rd graders a private tour of where the museum keeps all their fossils and bones. The kids (and their parent group leaders) were fascinated with how many items are cataloged and kept track of at the museum. This special tour was the highlight of their day! Thanks Beth for taking time out to share what you get to do as a scientist.

We are looking for two new volunteer coordinators. This is for the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 school years. You will be responsible for securing Chairpersons for the various school wide events and activities, as well as assist the Chairs in recruiting volunteers throughout the school year. You will find that we have great parents and are always willing to help out even in a crunch. We would like to secure two new VC's by the end of April. If you would like to become more involved in the school and bring some new ideas to the PTO/SIT Board, this is a great opportunity. We would especially like to invite any new kindergarten families to Douglass to consider joining the PTO. Now that your feet are wet and you have become more acquainted with the school, this is a great way to feel more a part of our awesome Douglass community. While Hilary and I will not be the official VC's we have offered to stay on until the end of September so that there is a smooth transition between ourselves and the new volunteer coordinators. If you are interested, please contact either Beth Pulford or Hilary Wallace
