CANNED FOOD DRIVE

• From November 5 – 16, DVC’s Senior Committee is hosting a canned food drive for a local organization, Food Pantry LAX. This organization serves our local communities and provides them with a Thanksgiving meal this holiday season.  This drive will also be a friendly advisory competition! The advisories with the most cans brought and the highest participation rate will be granted Advisory Olympic points and a donut party!
• To donate, send the canned goods with your child for their advisory teacher. Please make sure your child’s and advisory teacher’s name is on the bag or on the cans. You can also drop off the labeled donations at Exhibition, Thursday, November 15.
• Finally, we are in need of parent volunteers to transport the donations the morning of Friday, November 16. If you are interested, please contact Deepti Reim, Senior Committee Advisor at dreim@davincischools.org.

Dear Da Vincians,

We just learned from the El Segundo Police Department that Douglas St. is being closed down in the North to South direction due to a suspicious explosive device at the LA Times building, located at 2300 E. Imperial Highway.

Our students are safe and are not in danger.

Pick-up procedures will be altered this afternoon due to the partial Douglas closure. Pick up will be permitted by driving North on Douglas St. and turning left into our parking lot.

Please exercise patience during pick-up.

Thank you,

Dr. Matthew Wunder
CEO
Da Vinci Schools
