April 13th – 17th, 2026

Dear DG Families,

 

Happy Vaisakhi!

Vaisakhi is Tuesday and everyone is invited to wear bright colours, such as orange, to celebrate!  It’s a special time that marks the arrival of spring and celebrates values of gratitude, courage, service, and community. As we learn together, may this season inspire kindness, inclusivity, and respect for one another.

 

The DG Student Culture Club

Did you know that at Devon Gardens we have a Student Culture Club?  They are interested in promoting diversity, friendship, peace and understanding through highlighting and sharing different cultural celebrations with our entire school.  Under the guidance of teacher sponsor, Mme Santos, these student leaders do this in various ways such as organizing assemblies, creating display boards, and sharing information on the morning announcements (including songs and music) about a variety of celebrations such as Diwali, Hanukkah, Lunar New Year,  Black Excellence Day, Eid, Vaisakhi and more!  As it may not be possible to include all celebrations each year, they meet at the beginning of the year to select areas of focus on for the year, with the goal of being as inclusive as possible.    We are so proud of the work they are doing!

 

Term 3 Previews

Term 3 previews will be sent home electronically to families on Thursday.   Please keep an eye out for these.
