Greetings Connect K8 Families,

For our families who celebrate Halloween, we hope you have a great time celebrating tonight! For our families who celebrate Dia de Los Muertos, we look forward to honoring loved ones with you via an Ofrenda on campus in the coming days! 

We are excited to share our gratitude for all that the autumn season brings in our community at the upcoming Fall Festival! We hope you can make it!

Take Good Care,

Kaitlin (she/her) and Sage (he/him)

Have un-carved pumpkins to share?! Bring them to us!

Do you have a medium-sized UNCARVED Pumpkin or two - that you'd LOVE to donate to us? We realize some Halloween/fall decorations just can't be stored away until next year's celebration, so consider this... we're looking for 28 uncarved pumpkins to be distributed between each of our classrooms, as part of a school-wide art contest and composting project with the Garden Club! For more details contact Activities Coordinator - Jahmal Durham at jdurham@davincischools.org -
