Thanks to all the students, teachers, counselors and DVUSD staff that made the High School to Career Expo an #extraordinary success! This event was attended by over 270 families representing 29 schools including several charter schools.

DVHS HOSA/ Nursing class visits the Palazzo Long Term Care facility for Fall Clinical experiences. . It is populated by about 50 elderly people many of whom have no family. These residents are all on State Care that financially covers their residency. In other words, Medicaid pays for their nursing home. Medicaid payment is notoriously low so there are no extras. The DVHS HOSA student organization would like to recruit donations from teachers/students (and other schools who want to be involved) so that they can make gifts for the residents. The students will collect items November 14, 15. 18, 19, 20, at a table in front of the Cafeteria with boxes decorated for the holidays and labeled Socks, Blankets, Stuffed Animal, Personal Items and Entertainment. They will offer a gift card drawing for those that donate.
