Dear Daves Avenue Families,
This afternoon I had the pleasure of attending a 2022 LGUSD Colloquium to celebrate over 28 LGEF Innovation Grants that were funded district-wide this year. Congratulations to our very own Cool Cat Staff members who were awarded grants to enhance the educational experiences for our current and future students. Due to our amazing and dedicated staff, our social and emotional learning literature and libraries are growing, Project Based Learning or “Daves Olympics” became a reality, Physical Activity and brain break materials are on order, STEAM and innovative projects are being integrated, Super Kindness Heroes were born, Math manipulatives were enhanced, and teachers participated in a book study and read, “Unpack Your Impact”. I am beaming with joy and am so grateful for our dedicated staff who work beyond the instructional day to provide the very best for our students.

HWY 17 OVERCROSSING PROJECT |
|
Safety Improvements to Blossom Hill Road Coming Soon!
As parents, you know that crossing over Highway 17 on the Blossom Hill Road bridge is a bit daunting for our students as they travel to and from school. Fortunately, the Town of Los Gatos is proposing a separate bridge structure exclusively for bicycle and pedestrian use. This project, Highway 17 Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing, also includes a protected pathway that stretches from Roberts Road East to Roberts Road West (see attached figure). We are excited about the improved safety conditions this represents for Fisher Middle School students! Learn more about this effort at www.losgatosca.gov/2556/Hwy-17-Bicycle-Pedestrian-Overcrossing

The community is invited to the Los Gatos High School Grad Night and Senior Museum walk-thru on Friday, June 3rd. The Grad Night celebration event space will be open to the public from 4:00pm to 8:30pm, and the Senior Museum until 9:00pm. For more than 30 years Grad Night has been planned and run by the parents of the senior class to ensure a safe, sober evening for their children after graduation. Hundreds of parents transform the school’s gyms and parking lots for the all night celebration. The theme is always kept under wraps until the last minute. The self guided tours are for adults and children 5th grade and younger. Middle school and high school students are invited to tour the Senior Museum but not the Grad Night areas. We look forward to hosting you!
