Doolen Monthly
November 2023
Message from the Principal
Dear Doolen Community,
I cannot believe how quickly October came and went! I think that with the holidays, the days will only go by quicker! Lots of exciting events this month - we hope our entire community joins in on the fun and on the cooler temperatures!
Remember, that there is no school on Veteran's Day - Friday, November 10th and on Thursday/Friday November 23rd and 24th in observation of the Thanksgiving Holiday!
Thank you,
Nathaly Santin
Principal

Ben's Bells Be Kind Mural Installation
BE KIND MURALS
Kindness-themed mosaic murals have been installed in Tucson, Phoenix, Connecticut, and the surrounding areas. These brightly colored public art pieces symbolize community connection and support through kindness, and are created by a diverse group of students, local artists, and community members wherever they are located.
Ben’s Bells has been involved in creating dozens of community murals, and they regularly install beloved “Be Kind” Flower and Kindness Trees at schools and community organizations in Arizona, Connecticut, and the surrounding areas.
Doolen is the lucky new recipient of the newest Be Kind Mural in Tucson- and it will be the first in Tucson in the shape of a Sahuaro. This is the perfect symbol for Arizona, and Tucson, as the Sahuaro cactus blossom in the State Flower of Arizona!
