PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Daves Avenue Families, 

In addition to the delightful sunshine and showers this week, our Cool Cats of all ages are busy learning, exploring, and creating! Prior to our Spring Recess, the Daves Avenue community rallied together to donate items for hygiene kits to support the underserved in our community. We successfully assembled hundreds of kits and kindness notes which will help brighten the lives of others in months to come. Way to go, Cool Cats! 

Important reminders this week:
  1. Tropic Nights ~ Our school auction is in 10 days! It’s not too late to purchase your ticket(s)! Also, thank you to all families who have contributed time and items to make this event a huge success! Additional information is listed below. 
  2. Yearbook ~ The deadline to order a yearbook is May 3! Also, the deadline for 5th-grade families to purchase a special recognition ad is this Friday, April 22! Additional information is listed below. 
  3. Author’s Day ~ We are so lucky to have Mr. Eric Kimmel join us this Friday! Additional information about ordering a book is listed below. 
  4. Open House ~ Save the date for Thursday, May 5, from 6:00-7:00 P.M.
