Winter Sports will be starting up in just a few weeks! There will be a winter sports student informational meeting during WIN Block on Monday, 10/26. Cheer tryouts will start on November 2nd. Boys Basketball tryouts will start on November 4th and Girls Basketball tryouts will start on November 9th.
Information for completing the Sway Impact testing, which athletes must complete each school year, and information for submitting a physical are attached to this message. The physical is good for all three years at Doughty, so if you have already submitted one, you do not have to do it again. Also, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind your athletes that they must pass their first quarter classes in order to be eligible to participate in a winter sport.
If you have not yet signed your student up for a winter sport, you can do so here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2dQhWiT2TkNHWXkO4yZyEm-MIXeo-jjkGh39LGePnxQgu7w/viewform?usp=header
Your student will also have the opportunity to sign up in person at the informational meeting. Please reach out to surli@bangorschools.net with any questions.
Thank you,

Some traditions make school communities a little brighter, and one of our favorites at the James F. Doughty School is Mrs. Harvey's annual painted pumpkin tribute to Duke the Bulldog!
Each fall, Mrs. Harvey puts her artistic talents on display by creating a hand-painted pumpkin featuring Doughty's beloved mascot. This year, the tradition got an extra special twist. Ms. Keebler, the art student teacher, created another pumpkin to add to the display featuring everyone's favorite four-legged staff member, Howie the service dog! Howie was more than happy to pose for a photo alongside these amazing artistic creations, showing off his pumpkin portrait.
It's traditions like these that bring creativity, school pride, and plenty of smiles to our hallways. Thank you to Mrs. Harvey and her student teacher for sharing their talents and helping make Doughty such a special place to learn and belong!

Recently, JFDS 7th graders, who are reading A Long Walk to Water, ran a relay around the school carrying buckets of water to experience what it's like for people who walk long distances every day for clean water. It was a fun, hands-on way to build empathy and bring the book to life! Thanks to Mrs. Bridges, Mrs. Lowe, & Mrs. Gunnell for a fun activity!

Today, we celebrate the incredible custodians who do so much more than keep our schools clean, safe, and welcoming.
Our custodial staff are often among the first to arrive and the last to leave, but their impact reaches far beyond maintaining our buildings. They build relationships with students, lend a helping hand when needed, and bring joy to our school communities in countless ways. Whether they're joining in on spirit weeks, participating in theme days, or stepping into a mascot costume to make students smile, they help create the positive and caring school culture that makes Bangor schools special.
Thank you for the pride you take in your work, your dedication to our students and staff, and the kindness you bring to our schools every day. Your contributions make a difference in ways both seen and unseen.
Please join us in thanking our amazing custodial team for all they do!
We appreciate you today and every day.
