A week ago today, our DVC staff received beautiful bags of gratitude from our wonderful DVC families. We were thrilled to receive these special gifts and we are so grateful for the love and support of our community. Special thanks to all the students and families who wrote notes and donated to our bags, and much gratitude to Stacie Ottley, Karie Miller, Lisa Borawski, Wendy Miller, Kevin Gilligan, Christine Balazs, and Stephanie Murphy for assembling all the goodies! They did a beautiful job, and we are appreciative.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend – and looking forward to seeing everyone back on Monday!

With thanks,

Erin

We had a blast at Exhibition Night and we hope you did, too! Thank you for making time to come see what DVC is all about. The energy of the staff, students, parents, alumni, community members, and prospective families was really terrific. We’re sorry the evening had to end a little early – the chemistry experiments in our lab were a little too much for our high-tech building to handle. 🙂 Please share any feedback you have about the evening here, and enjoy a few pics! Thanks again for coming!

Exhibition Night is TONIGHT at 5:30pm at DVC! We invite all families, friends, and community members to see our students showcase their projects. All DVC students are required to attend; students in grades 10 & 12 will have their projects on display. Canned food and staff gratitude basket donations accepted! 🙂

DVC Key Club will be holding a “Holiday Toy Drive” for children in need this holiday. The donation drive will begin November 13- December 13 and can be dropped off at the front desk. Once all donations are collected by the end of December 13 (last day to donate) it will be donated to St Margaret’s Center. Thank you so much for your kind donations!
