THANK YOU, LOCKER
PAINTING VOLUNTEERS!
Thanks for all the
family support of our Locker Painting tradition. We had wonderful volunteers
who helped each step of the way. See the wonderful
slideshow of photos from Judy
Holmes now on our website. We still need some help to paint the borders a solid
color after school next week. Contact Sheli if you can help. If students want to stay after
school to work on their lockers, they must have adult supervision. We ask that
they use a tarp and not use bathroom sinks to clean out brushes and containers.
Run for the Arts, Funds
Due
Thanks to all the
families who have used the online platform for fundraising. We have $8,398
toward our $10,000 goal in online donations alone! This pot of funding will
ensure we can buy a new kiln this year and hire guest artists to help with our
productions. Please turn in the paper pledge form with monies collected (make
checks out to Young Audiences or Run for the Arts) to the office. You can still
set up an online page to share with your friends and family. This is an easy and
effective way to ask for contributions. If your student wants a t-shirt, please
gather funds and return the form to the office before October 23rd.
Dragon Bench Restoration
Thanks to parent,
Melissa Mulder-Wright for her leadership and supervision of this much needed
repair of our playground dragon bench/sculpture. Students in 2-D Art, 3-D Art
and 6th-grade science classes are participating in this work during the
school day. This week they will be working with cement. Students should wear
(or bring extra) clothing that can get dirty and dress warmly for working
outside. Here is the Signup if you can come in and help out.
Picture Retake day- this
Friday, October 20
Only students who were
absent on the original date or who have purchased a package that they are not
happy with will be permitted to go to the auditorium for retakes. They will
need a pass to be released from class. If you want your student to have a
picture retaken, reply to Sheli for your student to be on the list and get a pass. You must
return the original package. We could use a volunteer to help out on Friday as
well. Let Sheli know if you have time on Friday morning.

Due to positive feedback
over the last 2 years, da Vinci will again schedule Family-Teacher Conferences
online. Like last year, the online Sign-Up is scheduled to open two weeks
before conferences, on Tuesday, October 24th at 5:30 pm. On that
Tuesday, we will supply detailed information as a post on our website and also send a separate email, via the usual
daVinci-family-mailman-listserv ~ if you’re seeing this, your email is on the
list! A reminder that families must coordinate sign-ups with all
parent/guardians as there is only ONE Conference spot per teacher for each
student. Please also keep your eyes open for a Teacher nourishment SignUp to
keep our teachers going during Conferences. We know we have such a giving and
supportive family community and THANK YOU in advance for helping us give back
to our teachers.
Don't miss our 13th Annual da Vinci Arts Fair, Dec 2nd 10 am - 4
pm.
For any and all questions about the Arts Fair, see our information sheet. This weekend is the deadline for juried artists to apply. Student
artists should apply by November 10. Help us get the word out if you know of
professional artists who might want to join us. Questions should be directed to davinciartsfairlove@gmail.com.
PTSA in search of
volunteer for Audit and Taxes
As a nonprofit
organization, the PTSA is required to have an independent audit of the books
each year and complete taxes. You do not need extensive experience or
credentials but it does take a few hours to review documents and make sure
required documentation is in order. There is a simple checklist to follow. If
you could do the audit, or assist with filing taxes, please contact the
Treasurer, Maggie Vera.
Da Vinci parents and
ScreenSage are hosting a seminar aimed at increasing awareness and education
around tw/teenage social media.
"When are you going
to let me get Instagram?"
"But, all my
friends have Snapchat!" - "I'm the only one out of all my friends who
don't have that app!"
Sound familiar? If so,
then this is the class for you. This interactive seminar explores the mysteries
of tw/teen social media use. We will cover the How, Why and When of Snapchat,
Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, TBH, Sarahah, and more. You'll leave with a better
understanding of the apps themselves and how to keep your child safe online.
Plus! We will have live teens on hand to (honestly) answer all your questions.
Registration is limited.
Sign up today! $30. Thursday, October 19, 7:00 - 8:30 PM or Sunday,
October 22, 6:00 - 7:30 pm, Hollywood Senior Center - 1820 NE 40th Ave.
Get tickets here: https://screensage.net/events/
