Sending on behalf of DG PAC
Dear Parents & Guardians,
In a continued effort to raise funds to support our kids and school, below are New Spring PAC Fundraisers and a reminder of the on-going year-round fundraisers. This school year has been challenging on many fronts but even with the limited fundraising to date, with your support, PAC recently purchased 10 Chromebooks and a Chromebook cart for the school.

Yearbook Pre-Order
The end of the school year is fast approaching and our annual Devon Gardens yearbook is being put together by two dedicated parent volunteers (Jennifer Iachetta, our PAC vice-chair and Corrie Ashton).
In order to have a better idea on how many books to order, PAC is launching pre-ordering through our online ordering system (https://devonpac.hotlunches.net/). Books will be delivered and distributed before the last day of school in June. Pre-ordering will be open until Friday, May 7. Cost is $20 per yearbook. If you wish to have this keepsake please pre-order. There will be no extras available for purchase later.
Reminder – Fundraisers ongoing throughout the year
