February 24 Declared Doris Preucil Day
Congratulations to all the string students and faculty for a wonderful Annual String Concert honoring
Doris for her 50 years of teaching the Suzuki method. Doris was honored early in the concert with
a proclamation by Iowa City's Mayor Matt Hayek naming Feb. 24, 2013, as Doris Preucil Day. Near
the end of the concert she was presented with a memory book of messages from current and former
Preucil School parents, students, faculty and community supporters. Three of her children and
several grandchildren attended the concert to help honor Doris.

Capital Campaign for Resurface of North Campus Preschool Playground
Preucil School Playground project is a capital campaign to continue to make the vision of a safe,
rubber surface playground a reality. The goal is to raise approximately $75,000 by spring.
The project includes:
- Adding new railings.
- Expanding the fencing around the playground so it is a larger area for students to play in.
- Installing sod in areas where there is currently sand.
- Replacing the mulch base with a tiled material made from recycled Iowa tires.
