Dear Daves Avenue Families,
Thank you for helping to make our Book Fair such a huge success this year. Great gratitude is extended to our librarian, Mrs. Amy Goldsmith, parent volunteers, Mrs. Nicolette St. Angel and Mrs. May Rose, and all of the other students, parents, and community members who contributed time and energy to set-up displays, find books and work the cash register. Mrs. Goldsmith made several trips to Hicklebee’s Book Store to replenish and offer new book titles throughout the week. Lucky us! Furthermore, families were provided ample opportunities to visit the Book Fair with extended hours during conference week. Witnessing students beam proudly with new books in their hands made my heart happy. There is no greater gift than helping our youth to further foster a love for reading.
With December around the corner, we are still looking for more lunch duty yard supervisors. Please encourage any interested family members or friends to inquire with our front office for this paid position. Also, our phenomenal FunVisors team is always looking to bolster parent involvement. Please take a peek at this link

for opportunities to volunteer!
Finally, please take a few moments to ask your Cool Cat how they show their “PAWS” and inquire if they have had an opportunity to receive a Character Card recently. Having clear expectations for all students, including Transitional Kindergarten through Fifth grade, will ultimately result in a healthy and balanced school climate and culture. Thank you in advance for your support with this initiative. Daves Avenue Elementary School is “PAWS”itively an awesome place to be!

ATTENTION: Carnival Co-Chair Still Needed!
Hi Daves Avenue Families,
We now have one Carnival Co-Chair and are looking for an additional Co-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 Chairs 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.
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 Co-Chair to help oversee it all to run smoothly. You will have a partner to work with! If you think you might be interested, please
email us
!
We appreciate you considering it.
Thank you!
