Hello Daves Avenue Families,
The Halloween parade was a perfect culminating October event to exemplify the joy of our youth and community. We have so much to be grateful for, and I am reminded of that daily as I have the privilege of interacting with students of all ages. At the Wednesday Wave this morning, the long awaited Fun Run trophies were handed out to the classes with the highest participation rates. Congratulations to the following Cool Cats:
TK/Kindergarten ~ Mrs. Dariano’s Class
First Grade ~ Mrs. Ludeman’s Class
Second Grade ~ Mrs. LeMenager’s Class
Third Grade ~ Mrs. Brown’s Class
Fourth Grade ~ Ms. Mahoney’s Class
Fifth Grade ~ Mrs. Bonner’s Class
Additionally, kudos to Ben Nester, Kaela Knickerbocker, Josslin Martinez, Mili Perroud, and Lauren Whitaker for becoming a part of the PAWS Club! Encouraging students to be
P
eaceful,
A
ware,
W
ise, and
S
afe on and off campus is a continued focus.
