Week 19 begins Tuesday!

January 15, 2021 by Erin D'Souza

Dear DVC Families,

Monday is a school holiday held in honor of civil rights champion Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who championed the cause of justice, racial equality, and love between people regardless of the color of their skin.

In his acceptance speech of the Nobel Prize in 1964, Dr. King said: “I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind…I refuse to accept the idea that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.”

Particularly in our unprecedented current historical context and the disturbing recent events in our Capitol, Dr. King’s hope and faith in a society committed to driving out the darkness of injustice and racism in our country with the light of justice and love is one we continue to reflect on, teach, and strive to embody with our students.

We will be back at school on Tuesday, beginning the day @9:30am in Connections classes. Please bookmark this website for easy access to information and schedules for DVC.

Upcoming Events:

  • 1/18: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day – NO SCHOOL
  • 1/27: School Site Council and English Language Advisory Committee Meeting
  • 2/5: Professional Development Day – NO SCHOOL
  • 2/15: Presidents’ Day – NO SCHOOL

Enjoy the weekend,

Erin
