Week 10 Preview

Greetings Designers and Design Families,

So much good stuff happened at DVD this week! From SLCs and spirit week, to the MultiCultural Food Fair and Feeling Well Friday in 12th grade. On Wednesday, students had a chance to go to the annual Aviation Career Day field trip at LAX via our Real World Learning Program. We had a great time wrapping up the week with Community Dialogue, hosted by our Latinx Student Union, in honor of Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month. We played games, had live music, and danced our way into the weekend! See photos from CD below!
Here is the Bell Schedule for Week 10 at Da Vinci Design:

Next week, students are getting ready for Red Ribbon Week® here at Da Vinci celebrated Oct 21-25th. What Is Red Ribbon Week? It is a way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs and celebrate healthy lifestyle choices and habits. We hope to have students show their personal commitment to a drug-free and healthy lifestyle through participation in various activities October 21 – 25th. Da Vinci students will see health related content in class through presentations, have an opportunity to learn how to use the life saving medication Narcan for opioid overdoses, take part in a Free vaccination clinic as a preventative health activity and engage in open dialogues around the importance of healthy choices. Reach out to Emily Green (egreen@davincischools.org) our Director of Health Services for more info!
