Last Wednesday, our 5th grade DVA Eagles had the opportunity to take a trip to Albertsons Grocery Store and, in partnership with the Arizona Department of Agriculture,  participated in learning many valuable real life lessons about weights and measures of foods, pricing, and quantity for the best deals possible, and the steps taken to ensure the integrity at our gasoline pumps. Special thank you to the AZ Department of Agriculture and Albertsons for teaching our Eagles. These future consumers really made that real world connection! 

Last week, our students honored the written word by celebrating Read Across America. The festivities started on Wednesday, with our second grade classes dressing up as their favorite book characters and reading their chosen books to their classmates!

Then, on Thursday, parents and community leaders filled our halls and classrooms, joining our Eagles to read and share their favorite stories of adventure, friendship, and curiosity.

Each page that was read, each laugh that was heard, and each smile that was shared celebrated literature and inspired a new generation of readers. #DVSLeadersInAction

Last week was an exciting adventure for our Leadership Club as they hit the road to visit 100.9 The River! They had the incredible opportunity to be interviewed by Russ Clark. But the fun didn’t stop there—they flipped the script and threw some questions back at him! Huge shoutout to our Leader Club for making such a memorable impact! Keep shining, leaders! Check out their on air segment on Instagram and Facebook! #DVSLeadersInAction

In 5 short days, our Eagles banded together and made a difference in the lives of all the animals that reside in the Humane Society Shelter. Through our “Puppy Love” fundraiser, DVA raised over $10,000! This achievement was not executed by just one class or one student alone. It was accomplished by every Eagle. #WhyDoWeGiveBecauseWeCare!
