Greetings Cool Cat Families,
Attached are two important notifications for your review. Have a wonderful rest of the week!
SOCIAL MEDIA MINDFULNESS
As you know, there are many performances and events throughout the school year. While you are always welcome to take photos and video of any school performance or event, student safety is a top priority in the Los Gatos Union School District. Therefore, we respectfully ask that you take into consideration the audience and performers when taking video or pictures. If you post an image or video to social media that may contain images of individuals other than your immediate family, please seek consent from the student's family or guardian prior to posting. Thank you in advance for your understanding. Enjoy the performance!
PARENT SCHOOL LUNCH SURVEY
Please help us to improve your child’s lunch experience! We are seeking feedback to customize our meal program to better meet the needs and wants of the Los Gatos community. The survey will be available through December 20. We will work with our wellness and menu planning committee beginning in January to review the results and determine any changes to our program. We will keep you all posted. Thank you in advance for participating and helping to make the meal program experience even better! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact
Lupe Pena
.
Kind Regards,
Principal, Daves Avenue Elementary

The GlassHouse in Downtown San Jose
March 2, 2019, 6-11 PM
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
DOLLARS FOR DAVES
supporters. You get to party like a disco superstar and enjoy a delicious buffet dinner, drinks, dancing, lots of surprises, and a guaranteed fun night!

Second Harvest Food Bank
It’s another exciting year to help support the hunger needs in the Bay Area.
Second Harvest Food Bank barrels are now placed at the Daves Avenue campus and will be picked up Tuesday, December 18, 2018. We would love to see them full to the top and this is where we need your help.
Teachers will be sending home Second Harvest food bags with your children to put your donations in. Please drop off non-perishable food donations in the barrels located
throughout the school
.
Please consider these most needed foods and avoid donating items packaged in glass:
Meals in a can (stew, chili, soup), 100% Fruit Juices,
Tuna/Canned Meat, Peanut Butter,
Low Sugar Cereals, Canned Fruits and Vegetables
This season more than 1 in 10 of our neighbors in need will be turning to Second Harvest Food Bank for a meal. Your support helps connect hungry children, families, and seniors to nutritious food in the neighborhoods where they live, learn, work, and play.
Thank you for your active participation this holiday season!

Safety: The Greatest Gift
As the holidays approach remember to give the gift of safety this season. It is the greatest gift we can give the children of our community.
- Slow down in school zones.
- Be aware of children and families walking and biking to school.
- Make eye contact with pedestrians and cyclists.
- Obey the crossing guard’s directions.
Together we can make a difference. Visit
www.lgsaferoutes.org
for more information and to support the efforts.
Happy Holidays from SR2S
