Greetings Cool Cat Families,
The Halloween costume parade this morning was Spook-tacular! If you were able to join us for festivities on campus, thank you! If not, there will be plenty of pictures in the school yearbook for you to enjoy.
In preparation for Trick-or-Treating, I’d like to share with you some helpful hints from our Safe Routes to School program about safety when walking through neighborhoods:
- Make sure that children 10 years and younger always cross the street with an adult.
- Before crossing the street, children need to stop, look and listen. Then, when crossing the street, remind children to look left, right and left again.
- Always cross at a corner. Obey signs and signals and cross within the lines of the crosswalk.
- Walk on the sidewalk. If your route has no sidewalks, walk on the side of the road facing traffic.
- Try to make eye contact with drivers when possible.
- Teach children to watch for cars that are turning or backing up.
Wishing all families a safe and Bootiful Halloween!
Happy Haunting!
Principal, Daves Avenue Elementary

ATTENTION: Carnival Chair Needed!
Hi Daves Avenue Families,
We are still looking for a Carnival Chair to help get our 43rd Daves Avenue Carnival underway. The carnival is set for Friday, May 31st.
Our awesome Carnival is a community building event to bring our families together. Our families will enjoy games, prizes, bouncy houses, face painting, food, a talent show (chaired by Ali Olivo), and more. The Carnival Chair will have a committee of helpers to manage all the volunteers, games, inflatables, food, concessions, and all of the logistics of ensuring a fun and safe carnival. The responsibilities begin in the late autumn with bookings and payments, and then activities ramp up in the spring. If we can’t find a chair, unfortunately we can’t have a carnival. 😔
Our previous fabulous Chair has passed down all of the information you will need. Save the Dates have been sent to previous vendors. We just need a Carnival Chair to help oversee it all to run smoothly. If you think you might be interested, please
email us
!
We appreciate you considering it.
Thank you!

Book Fair!
Daves Library
Sneak Peek Thursday 11/1
Open 8am - 6pm, 11/2 & 11/5 - 11/9
|
The Daves Avenue Book Fair happens during Conference Week, twice a year.
Buying books at the Fair supports our Library, as 25% of the proceeds come back to us!
Think about those favorites your child and family like to re-read, as these make
great holiday gifts!
And if your child’s favorite is not at the Fair, we can order it (it usually comes in a week or less!)*.
- Shop during school and surprise your child with a new book! (Right after school is usually the busiest time.)
- If your child is enjoying a book their teacher is reading aloud in class, note that these books are targeted at the class’ listening level, so be ready to have this book be a family read-aloud.
- Cash, Check and Credit Card are accepted!
* To order books, make a wish list with your child and either email our librarian,
Amy Goldsmith
, or drop by the library and Mrs. G will process your order.
