Dragon's Breath - Jan 28 - Feb 1 - Devon Gardens Elementary

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thank you for taking the time to read the Dragon’s Breath.

Whole School Pizza Lunch

As you may remember, our school won the Electrorecycle challenge in December. We have set Thursday, February 28 as our date for our whole school pizza lunch. Each student will be given up to 2 slices of pizza and a juice box for lunch. Teachers will be finding out what type of pizza your child would like on that day shortly.

Ready, Set, Learn

Devon Gardens, in partnership with Gray, McCloskey, and Richardson will be holding a free morning event for any children turning 3, 4, or 5 years of age in 2019. Please share our invitation with any children you know in your neighbourhood that might enjoy a morning of fun at our gym.

Tuesday, Feb 5 will be RED Day at Devon Gardens. This will be in recognition of Chinese New Year. Students and staff are encouraged to wear red to school.

NORTH BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 2019

Pink Shirt Day will be Wednesday, Feb 27th. On that day, we we remind ourselves to practice kindness and acceptance. Students and staff are encouraged to wear pink if they would like to participate. As always, wearing pink is optional. We can practice kindness no matter what colour we wear.

EMERGENCY DRILLS

As many of you know, we practice emergency drills throughout the year. Please note that we will also be practicing our Lockdown Procedures. Teachers will be teaching students about what we should do in case of such an emergency. There may be a chance that some students may have feelings of worry or nervousness. Please help us by having conversations with your child about the importance of practicing Emergency Drills and let us know if there is anything we can help with at school.
