Davenport's Weekly Update

Aloha Ohana!

“We do not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke; but we do know they summed up and perfected, by one supreme act, the highest virtues of men and citizens. For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.”

– James A. Garfield, May 30, 1868, Arlington National Cemetery

We are 3 FriYAY’s away from the End of the Year. As we continue to push through the end of the year, remember to give yourself grace. Enjoy this three day weekend with your family and friends. Remember to honor and remember fallen soldiers.

Have a great weekend!

Parents please be reminded of the following:

5/29- School closed for Memorial Day.

Davenport artists Alaia G., Naveen D. and Kathryn R. were excited to showcase their creations at the annual District Art Show which was held at the EHT Community Center on Thursday, 5/25 and will run through Thursday, 6/8. A special shout-out to our amazing art teachers, Casey Pfaeffli and Kelly Cronin, for their guidance and support of these amazing young artists! Principal White was also on hand to congratulate these students in person.

Our elementary students learned all about the Brass Family of Instruments this week, courtesy of Mr. Sutton (EHTHS Class of 2020) who is currently studying Music Education at Westchester University. His sister Carrie (EHTHS Class of 2026) also joined her brother to help out!

Mrs. Schenck was seen helping out with the set-up of our district-wide choral fest set to premiere in June.

Davenport Superstars prepare for their upcoming showcase on June 6th at 6:00 p.m.

No matter the situation, there is always help and there is always hope.

• Be aware of the signs and symptoms of mental health issues so that we can all work together to support one another.
• If you are worried about your mental health or are worried about someone you know, there are resources and people out there who are willing to help, no matter what your situation is.
• Whether we share resources, encourage others to seek help or simply are there for someone when they need us, we instill hope and can help other to reach out when they need it most.

No matter how tough things may seem right now, there is always help available. If you or someone you know is in distress or crisis, call #988 for immediate access to mental health services. #MHAM2023 #Together4MH
