Bobby Lytle Outstanding Teacher Award

We’re excited to open the application for the Bobbie Lytle Outstanding Teacher Award for the 2025-26 school year! We hope to expand the applications this year far and wide throughout the community. Please share the link below with your parents, fellow educators, staff, and community partners and members.

Bobbie Lytle was a beloved and inspirational teacher. The Outstanding Teacher Award was created to provide a cash award of $2,500 deserving teachers at Dommerich and Brookshire Elementary Schools.

All members of the two schools’ communities – faculty, staff, parents, students and neighbors – may nominate a deserving teacher.

Nominations will close on April 17, 2026 at 5:00 PM.

One Love School Store Will Be Open This Friday!

Our Pop Up Shop is a fun opportunity for our Bulldogs to purchase inexpensive items for themselves and help raise money for PTA's One Love Fundraiser! The Shop will be open every Friday morning in October in the school lobby from 8:20 AM-8:40 AM.

We are in need of volunteers to help run the shop on Fridays from 8:00 AM-8:45 AM. Any day you can volunteer will be such a help! Please use the link below to sign up.
