⛳️ A Message from Coach Burton ⛳️
I want to take a moment to express just how honored I was to be the coach for the 2026 Dora Golf Team. This recognition for these fine young men is very long overdue, and I truly wish I could do even more for them. Throughout the entire season, I couldn't have been more appreciative of the respect and effort they brought every single day. They are easily some of the most coachable student-athletes I have ever had the opportunity to coach. They represented Dora with the highest level of character, respect, and pride both on and off the course. They are simply great kids who have been raised the right way, and it showed in everything they did. A big thank you as well to all of the parents for your patience, commitment, and unwavering support throughout the season. We couldn't have done it without you.
Proud of you boys!
— Coach Burton

If you sent your family’s paperwork back with a sibling, please send a quick note letting us know which student returned the forms so we can make sure everyone gets counted.

🍎🥕 Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program Continues at Dora! 🍓🥦
We’re excited to share that Dora R-III has once again been approved for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) for the 2026–2027 school year!
This program serves our Pre-K through 6th grade students, providing them with opportunities to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the school year.
The FFVP is a great way to introduce students to a wider variety of fruits and veggies, encourage healthy choices, and maybe even help them discover a new favorite! 🍊🥝🥒🍓
We are thankful to continue offering this program to our students and look forward to another year of fresh, healthy choices at Dora! ❤️🖤
