The kindergarten class spent Thursday, June 2nd learning first hand about community helpers.  They toured four Devon businesses to find out how much work goes into running those businesses and what the jobs at those businesses are like.

Hot Lunches ~

Hot lunches are wrapping up for the year.  A great big thank you goes out to all of the parents that volunteered their time this year to help out with hot lunches.  This is a very big commitment.  The students and staff really appreciate your efforts.  I know many of the parents also look forward to hot lunch Fridays.  

Also, thanks so much to our dedicated Popcorn and Nacho moms.  This is another big commitment and we do appreciate the time and effort you gave to this.  I know for sure that the students look forward to Popcorn and Nacho Thursdays.

Friday , June 10th:

Track Meet Day ~

Our students are gearing up for the yearly track meet.  Lunch orders are due by Tuesday, June 7th.  

There is a slight change to the track meet this year.  In the morning the students will be divided into age groups where they will compete against other students of the same gender and age.  In the afternoon students will be divided into family groups to compete in a variety of activities with their family.  

Parking is always an issue at the school as space is limited.  This year we are asking that everyone park on the south side of the school.  We will only have one event happening on the south side of the school this year.  When parking, please be careful of the students that are moving to and from that event.  Thank you.

We have selected Tuesday, June 14th as the rain out date.  The hamburger/hot dog lunch will be served on Friday, June 10th regardless.  If we do need to reschedule the track meet to the Tuesday, please send a lunch with your child as there will not be lunch served that day.

Coming Up New This Year!
