PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Daves Avenue Families, 

On behalf of the Daves Avenue Home & School Club, all families are invited to A Tropical Night at the Palms on Saturday, April 30, 2022! This annual Cool Cat Auction is a time for our incredible community to gather and raise important funds for our school. Space is limited so please purchase your tickets today! Register online at davesavehsc.org/auction2022.
This week all Cool Cats are demonstrating growth in adaptability, which is listed as one of the six attributes in our LGUSD Student Success Profile. All students and staff have demonstrated flexibility when acclimating to the transition from a mask requirement to a strong recommendation. Our community of learners all continue to work effectively and confidently in a climate of ambiguity and shifting priorities. Thank you!

This Friday, March 18, 2022, please join us for an in-person Home & School Club Meeting at 9:00 A.M. in the MPR. There will be a special presentation regarding the community playfields. 

Some of my friends on the playground told me to watch out for Leprechaun traps around campus. One of my Grandmother’s favorite Irish sayings was, “May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart, and warmed by the smiles of the people you love”.

Wishing you a PAWSitively awesome week!
Jenna Mittleman, Principal
