Week 19 Schedule
It’s hard to believe that this was only our first week back from break, but the students did a great job jumping back into the swing of things with full schedules, new learnings, and positive Advisory and Grade Level time. This week was also a special opportunity for our DV community to come together and support victims impacted by the LA fires. Together, 2,012 lunches, water bottles, snacks, and household items were provided to those in need. Many thanks to our students and families who have come together to support wildfire relief!
There is no school on Monday, January 20th, in honor of Martin Luther King Holiday. We are grateful for his pivotal role in the civil rights movement and his legacy for equality, justice, and nonviolence.
