We’re not done with October recognitions yet! October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, a time to celebrate dyslexic excellence. Dyslexia Awareness Month helps society understand dyslexia better, which in turn helps those who have dyslexia.

We have another reason to celebrate in October! It is also Farm to School Month. Farm to School Month highlights the connection between kids and local farms and food. DJUSD is incredibly lucky to have our partnership with Davis Farm to School, which supports our students by providing garden-based education, farm fresh foods in school meals and much more. #DJUSDPartners #FarmtoSchoolMonth

Today marks the beginning of Filipino American History Month! The celebration of Filipino American History Month in October commemorates the first recorded presence of Filipinos in the continental United States, which occurred on October 18, 1587 in what is now Morro Bay, California. In 2009, U.S. Congress recognized October as Filipino American History Month in the United States. This month, we celebrate the history, heritage, culture and achievements of our Filipino American community. #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth

Over 180 high schoolers and elected leaders from Yolo County gathered at UC Davis on Wednesday, September 25 for the Youth Empowerment Summit (YES). This annual event provides students with the opportunity to engage with their local county, city and school leaders during round table discussions.

Established in 1968 by Governor Ronald Reagan and officially made a California state holiday in 1998 by Governor Pete Wilson, California Native American Day celebrates the resiliency, spirit, tenacity and sovereignty of the 110 Federally Recognized Tribes and dozens of unrecognized tribal communities throughout California.
