DVC Families,
You are now able to purchase the Humans of DVC! Our amazing students have put together a book of interviews they have taken of other students highlighting their interests, favorite quotes, and expressing who they are. They have worked extremely hard to create this book and our 10th grade student, Kaitlyn Swanson designed the cover! Below are the links to purchase the Paper version as well as the Kindle version. Thank you for your support!
Proudly displaying their winners’ certificates, these 10th-grade students celebrate a big accomplishment: they just wrote a novel in 30 days. Joining over 300,000 other writers around the world, DVC 10th-graders took part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), a creative writing challenge where the goal is to draft an entire novel in 30 days. Although the adult version of the challenge requires that writers meet a 50,000-word count goal, these bold novelists participated in the Young Writers Program, which allows students to set their own word count goals. Students wrote between 9,000 to 25,000 words as part of the challenge, with some Wrimos exceeding their personalized goal by over 100%!
Da Vinci is offering an ACT/SAT Prep course to its students through PJ Test Prep, a small Test Prep and Tutoring company based in the south bay. They have been in business since 2005 and have been offering SAT/ACT prep with Da Vinci for 3 years and they do a great job!
The course, open to all students from all DV high schools, will be 5 days over winter break from Monday January 7th to Friday January 11th, 2.5 hours per day. Students can sign up for either the AM session (10:00-12:30) or the PM session (1:15-3:45) and are expected to attend the same session for all 5 days. The course costs only $50 per student. Partial scholarships are available, so please don’t let the cost stop you from signing up!

After signing up here, students must pay the $50 course fee to their school’s office. Please make checks out to “Da Vinci Schools” and write “Test Prep” on the memo line.
