PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Daves Avenue Families, 

It’s an awesome week to be a Cool Cat! We had a wonderful assembly yesterday, Zun Zun, where students learned about watersheds and how to conserve water. Ask your child(ren) to sing you the “H20 Song”! We had a blast together!

Important news this week includes:
