Principal's Corner
Hello Dragon Families,
As we enter the Holiday Season, there’s so much to be grateful for in our community. The new portable for CKC has opened and the backfield is receiving much care and attention from our grounds crew as they reseed and resurface the back half of the field. The front half should be completed during Winter Break in December/January.
On December 2nd, consider joining us for the Santa Cruz Downtown Holiday Parade! This is a local event that brings the entire greater Santa Cruz area together. Information has gone out with the details on how you can participate. There will be DeLa the Dragon, music, and a festive atmosphere. When you get there, it’s really easy - just show up, walk with us, and have fun!
Over the next few weeks, we wish you quality time and fun being together over the Thanksgiving and Winter Holidays with your family and friends. It’s good to be a Dragon!
With gratitude,
Thien Hua - Principal

Do you own a local business?
If you, or another DeLaveaga parent you know, owns a local business, we would love to know! We would like to compile a list of our DeLa businesses to put on our website so we can help our community know where they can support local.

Thanks!
