The Douglas Park SCC wishes to thank the SK Tel Pioneers for their generous donation of $1350 which was used to purchase 60 sets of hand2mind alphabet word-building letter tiles and magnetic boards, for our Grade 1 and 2 classrooms.
These manipulatives are being used to strengthen early literacy skills as part of the University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) program, implemented by Regina Public Schools in Fall 2025.
As explained by Douglas Park teacher, Shannon Bacon:
Using letter tiles for word building provides students with a concrete, interactive way to connect sounds to print. Manipulating tiles helps children actively engage with phoneme-grapheme relationships, making abstract concepts more accessible. This strengthens decoding and encoding skills and keeps young learners engaged through tactile learning.
Please take a moment to thank the SK Tel Pioneers for their contribution to literacy learning at Douglas Park School!

Thank You for our Ga Ga Ball Pit!
Thank You for our Ga Ga Ball Pit!
Douglas Park School, and the Douglas Park SCC, would like to say a huge thank you to Cathy, Alex, and Colin at Prairie Arctic Regional Council Local 1986, and to Lotus Learning Solutions, for donating the labour and the supplies for our new Ga Ga Ball Pit. We especially appreciate Cathy’s custom-made lion and the pit accented in Douglas Park School colours.
The Ga Ga Ball pits are enclosures used to play a game similar to dodge ball. The pits have been extremely popular at recess and can be used year round. The SCC plans to build a second pit on the East side of the school in the Fall.

Baking Club
Baking Club
This year we had the wonderful opportunity thanks to the funding from our SCC to create a school baking club. Students were selected by the teachers and principal to take place in the unique learning environment. Students were able to learn to read recipes, measure ingredients accurately, wash dishes, and clean a kitchen. All skills that will help to benefit them in their classrooms in literacy and math and useful life skills for later. Some of the delicious treats students made were cookies, cupcakes, muffins, pancakes, brownies, pies, and bread.
The SCC thanks our Douglas Park School Community for participating in our fundraising events this school year. Your contribution makes it possible for the SCC to fund initiatives such as this Baking Club. The SCC also wishes to thank Sarah Filby for organizing this opportunity for our Lions!
