What We Do

The Boosters club supports program and activities, only made possible with parent volunteers. We need volunteers for a variety of events and activities. You can see the list of current ways to volunteer by linking to our Sign Up Genius. We will send out sign up notices throughout the year.  

For more information about our club, check out the information on this website or email us at davinciboosters@gmail.com. Our board welcomes all ideas and any help DV families can offer.

Da Vinci Booster Club Meetings

Boosters meet the third Wednesday of the Month at  7:00 PM. We will send an email to all families if our meeting will be in person or by Zoom. We encourage everyone to attend our Boosters Club meetings throughout the year. As a Boosters Club we work closely with the Da Vinci students and staff to ensure that we are supporting the needs of the school community through volunteer and monetary support. Between our Fall donation campaign and our spring auction we earn between $25,000-$30,000 a year. That money is spent in our community, whether it is used for field trips, supplies for signature event nights, new science equipment, or student driven clubs. Come join the meetings and learn the great ways the Boosters Club supports the Da Vinci community.
