There is no school for students and our front office is closed as well. We all return to school on Monday, December 2nd.

DVC Families,

We are grateful for your support in attending our Exhibition Night! We are filled with pride for the accomplishments of our students. Their presentations were creative and they showcased how engaged and invested they are in their learning. We are grateful for the trust and support of our families throughout their high school journey!

Just as we are grateful for your support, we know that you also enjoy opportunities to show the DVC staff (from the front office to the teachers to the facilities maintenance team) just how much you appreciate them. Please consider sharing the cheer of the season with a family-provided holiday meal for the staff on Friday, December 20th. If you’re interested and able, please sign up here to donate your cooking expertise or time: tinyurl.com/holidaypotluckDVC

Students have been learning about how to recycle and what to recycle, so Reclaim is here to help you out! First, you need all the essentials to start off recycling: you’ll need a blue recycling bin. If you don’t have one, a cardboard box will work as well. The next step to a successful recycling household is knowing what to recycle. 

Taking that first step into recycling and reducing waste can be difficult, but with the right mindset and with the right resources, we can all work together to make it happen!

To learn more visit the Strategic Communications Exhibition room (the fish bowl) on Wednesday November 20th 2019. You could also purchase your very own reusable Da Vinci Schools water bottle for $10 to support DVC DECA.

As part of our work for our DECA chapter, the Strategic Communications pathway will be promoting waste reduction throughout all three Da Vinci schools. Our goal is to not only educate our students, but also to help the planet! We have worked to teach our peers about the importance of recycling and waste reduction and how to recycle by presenting slides in Advisory and with a game at Community Dialogue. Our goal is to have our entire campus community, including parents, learn how to recycle and reduce their waste. 

What is Reclaim?

Reclaim is the name of the new marketing program that was created and is currently run by the students of Da Vinci Communications. It began with the idea of Biology teacher, Mr. Mar, and is being carried out by the students of the Strategic Communications Pathway and the school leadership. After a deep evaluation of the schools’ waste reduction habits, we came to the conclusion that we need to improve not just the school’s recycling habits, but our homes and communities as well. By reaching out to adults in the community, we hope to spread awareness about the danger of not reducing our waste and what type of hazardous world we could create if we don’t recycle. 

Stay tuned for a blog post next week to find out ways that you can help us help the planet, one step at a time!
