DOOL Community Celebration

Come see the inspiring work and experience the joyful community that emerged from this transformative program (Designing Our Own Learning)
About this Event

This summer, students from Dimmitt, McKnight, and Risdon Middle Schools will spend two weeks in the transformative DOOL Institute. They won't just learn about leadership; they'll practice it by designing projects that strengthen their schools and communities. Along the way, students and educators will learn how to share power, lift student voice, and create thriving and equitable school communities where everyone belongs.

The Community Celebration will be the culmination of this experience, and you won’t want to miss it! You'll hear students present the projects they built and share reflections about their journey. You’ll experience the joy and creativity of the DOOL community, and see, in real time, what it looks like when young people are trusted to lead.
It's the kind of moment that reminds you why this work matters: a room full of middle schoolers speaking with confidence about ideas they created themselves, supported by educators who believed in them from day one.
