Supporting Da Vinci Charter Academy
Hello DaVinci Community!
Welcome to the 2022-23 school year!
My name is Amy Haug and I am the DV Booster teacher grant coordinator, and acting Booster president.
I hope that the transition from summer to school has been a smooth one for both you and your student. This is a year of great transition. We have a new grade alignment with 9th grade at the High School with the beautiful new Tech Hub. And at the JRHS, there is a larger class population and a new Da Vinci Jr. High Principal, Marla Bowen. There is certainly a lot going on and we expect this to be an exciting year.
The Boosters are also having a transitional year.
During the last two years, due to the pandemic, we have been limited in our ability to do a lot of the activities that we have done in the past. Consequently, most of our leadership and volunteers have had to step back or have graduated with their students. I want to thank them for valiantly holding the ship together during a very turbulent time. A big thank you to Martha Diepenbrock, our outgoing president, and Byron Van Dyke, who continues as treasurer for one more year, for navigating a rough couple of years. We are all very grateful for your leadership!
As we start this school year, we are excited to make a new beginning.
Our goal is to support the DaVinci community and we need your help!
Here are some ways that you can get involved:
Donate!
The boosters raise money to support students and teachers. We had a great start to the school year at registration and thank you to everyone that donated.
If you are interested in donating, please donate online at https://davinciboosters.net or send a check to Da Vinci Booster Club - 1400 E. 8th St. Davis, CA 95616
Your donations fund:
- Class signature projects
- Field trips
- Teacher Appreciation
- Fall & Winter Feasts
- Grants to teachers for special needs
- Senior class scholarships
- Parent education
- And much more
Volunteer!
Nearly all the leadership positions are vacant and we have many other volunteer opportunities available. If you are interested in volunteering for either a leadership position or other event, I invite you to fill out our volunteer interest form. (Volunteer Interest Form).
Attend our Meetings!
We are having our first Booster meeting Wednesday, September 21at 7:00pm via zoom.
Here is the Zoom Link & Mtg ID 5390660743
After this first meeting, we plan to host them in-person alternating between the Jr and Sr High School Sites. More information to come.
We hope to see you there!
Social Events!
Because it has been a rough few years for everyone, our goal is to build community this year. We have some amazing parents planning some really fun, low-key get-togethers so that we can all get to know each other. More details to come!
As we start this school year, I appreciate your patience and support in getting things up and running.
Please feel free to reach out me at [email protected] with questions, concerns and most of all interest in volunteering!
I look forward to seeing you at our first meeting next week and at upcoming social events!
Warmly,
