Message from Erin & Andrew

May 31, 2020 by Erin D'Souza

Dear DVC Families,

We write this message to you on a Sunday evening that is filled with grief, anxiety, and unrest in our local and national communities over the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis this past week. This tragic event was videotaped and broadly shared on the news and social media in a time period where the very recent and tragic public deaths of Black men and women like Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor have also occurred. As we all know, we are also in the middle of a pandemic that is ravaging our nation, further complicating this time period.

Our entire DVC community is likely to be affected and experiencing a range of emotions about all that is going on. We made this video informing students and families that we will create space in the virtual world for those who wish to grieve together, and we also encourage students who are struggling with the gravity of this tragedy to reach out to DVC staff if needed. Please view the video and let us know if your family could use our support during this difficult time.

We hope that you are safe this evening and always.

Sincerely,

Erin & Andrew

Posse Foundation Scholarship

May 26, 2020 by Jennifer Barba

Good Morning 11th grade Parents and Students,

Every year, The Posse Foundation works closely with high schools to recruit Posse Scholars. Each Posse Scholar wins a four-year, full-tuition scholarship to attend one of Posse’s partner colleges or universities.  If you are interested in being nominated by your high school and demonstrate leadership and academic potential, please submit this scholarship application no later than Friday, May 29, 2020.

The preliminary round includes Da Vinci Communications staff reviewing your application and selecting this year’s nominees to send to The Posse Foundation. Once your nomination status has been received by The Posse Foundation, you will go through several rounds of interviews with Posse. Part of the interview process includes you ranking your top three colleges from their partner institutions and finding the right match for you. While The Posse Foundation does their best to find the best match, it is not guaranteed that you will be matched with your first choice college. If selected as a Posse Scholar, you will be applying to one of the colleges listed below under their binding Early Decision agreement, which means you are committing to attend.

o          Bucknell University – Lewisburg, Pennsylvania

o          Dickinson College – Carlilse, Pennsylvania

o          Hobart and William Smith Colleges – Geneva, New York

o          Kalamazoo College – Kalamazoo, Michigan

o          Middlebury College – Middlebury, Vermont

o          Northwestern University – Evanston, Illinois

Celebrating Seniors with a Kudoboard!

May 25, 2020 by Erin D'Souza

Senior Committee has created a Kudoboard, which is an online tool used to gather a group and send appreciation. It’s essentially an online greeting card that anyone with the link can access online. We want to use this board to share memories and celebrate the seniors. Kudoboard allows you to attach photos, videos, and gifs, so you can attach any form of memory or celebration you’d like! If you’d like to share a message for the seniors, the link is: https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/QxxRD9Tz

Show the seniors some love!

With thanks,

The Senior Committee
