Greetings Cool Cat Families,
Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope your break was enjoyable and you were able to spend quality time with your loved ones.
In your child’s Wednesday envelope today, you will find important information about upcoming student presentations at Daves Avenue. Erin’s Law, Assembly Bill 2016, was signed by Governor Brown on September 29, 2014. This law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades pre-K through 12. Mr. Victor Pacini, a survivor of sexual abuse, author and motivational speaker, will be assisting all schools in Los Gatos Union School District to implement this mandate through an assembly this month - Be Seen and Heard. Please read the parent letter for additional information. If you prefer that your child opt-out of this prevention education session, please complete the opt-out segment attached to the letter and return the form to your child’s teacher.
If you are available on
January 15th at 8:30 A.M.
, please consider attending the
Principal Chat
where I will be sharing information about school lunches, “The Portrait of an LGUSD Graduate” initiative, District Technology Survey and more. Your voice matters! Also, please join me in extending a warm welcome to all of the new families to our school. I look forward to meeting you at the New Parent Orientation on January 30th at 8:30 A.M.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2019!
Best,
Principal, Daves Avenue Elementary

We want to make this party a huge success for our school and we need your help to pull off a super groovy event:
OUT-OF-SIGHT AUCTION ITEMS
Do you have a swell place (or know anyone who does) in the Napa/Sonoma area, Carmel or another sweet location? How about extra tickets to a game or concert? Maybe some gift cards lying around worth $25-50 or a special service or item? Email
Courtney Burry
and she will be happy to create a fabulous auction package to feature at the party. We appreciate your generosity!!
FOLLOW THE CALL OF THE DISCO BALL
Are you psyched to host your own party yourself or with your friends to support our school? It can be as small or as big as you like—for kids, adults or families. How about beer tasting, a bocce tournament, a kids’ pool party or progressive dinner party? As a host you’ll raise funds, build community and have a far out time! Want to throw a party, but can’t think of an idea? Email
Danielle Rooney
and she’ll help you find the perfect one.
PAIRS WELL WITH DISCO
Looking for a super easy way to be a superstar? Consider donating wine and/or whiskey for our wine and whiskey pull events. If you have a bottle or two, please donate them. These should be special bottles that you would give as a gift. ($30+ per bottle.) Wine and whiskey can be dropped off at Liz Olson's home in downtown Los Gatos. Email
Liz Olson
to schedule a handoff.
Tickets are only $125 per person or $75 for
