Greetings Cool Cat Families,
I would like to extend a heartfelt
THANK YOU
to our most generous parent community for supporting our annual adult fundraiser. The Boogie Night Auction was a spectacular success!
The planning for this highly anticipated event began last Fall where input was embraced from a variety of stakeholders. While our dedicated volunteers made it look easy, organizing the event was no small feat. I would like to give an extra special thank you to the super star event coordinators,
Jaclyn Imani
and
Jessica Johnson
, in addition to the rest of the amazing auction committee members whose extraordinary efforts helped to make the occasion such a success. Also, huge kudos to
Mr. Ross Hanson
for being our Daves Avenue auctioneer extraordinaire. Sincere appreciation also goes to the many volunteers who generously contributed their time and expertise to solicit auction items to ensure a prosperous and memorable evening.
All funds raised at the auction will be used to enrich students’ educational experiences. Boogie Night was a stellar success because of your generosity and commitment to providing our students with a world-class education. Thank you for your ongoing support. It takes a village!
Wishing you a wonderful week.
Kind Regards,
Principal, Daves Avenue Elementary

A NOTE FROM THE DISTRICT NURSE:
Over the past few days, a number of our students have shown symptoms of influenza, or the “flu” — including persistent coughing, sore throat, and high fevers. We are working diligently to keep this contagious virus from spreading, including cleanings of school facilities according to guidelines from the Santa Clara County Public Health Department and reminders to students and staff to wash their hands vigorously and regularly.
Your help is important in ensuring the health and safety of all of our students and the Daves Avenue community. Should your student experience any flu-like symptoms, you should contact your pediatrician for instructions. Students who exhibit these symptoms must be kept out of school until they are symptom free without medication for 48 hours.
If your student displays flu-like symptoms at school, they will be asked to report to the Health Office and then sent home. Please follow the guidelines from our school health staff for monitoring your student’s illness.
