End of year message to Davisville families from the Davisville School Council Interim Chair:

Dear Davisville Families,

As our school year draws to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to celebrate our Davisville Dragons ability to evolve, problem solve and innovate throughout the year.

First and foremost, a very special thank you to all the volunteers who made this year a success. Our 2018-2019 chapter at Vaughan Road is unique – and with the support of volunteers, we were able to ensure that our children’s school year experience was a successful one.

We have a lot to celebrate: from the snack program to pizza lunch, exciting silent auctions, delicious bake sales, get-togethers like skate night and games night, a successful eco week (was there ever any question about our eco warriors?)… and when Mother Nature brought us inclement weather on June 1st, we took the Fun Fair indoors for a fun-filled day!

Davisville families united when buses were cancelled – parents coordinated, car pooled and supported each other. When the eco team asked for book donations, families donated through an intricate donation system maximizing the bus stop communities that were formed this year.

When the Raptors needed that extra boost of energy for Game 6, the Davisville Dragons chanted “Let’s Go Raptors” in the cafeteria – hours before the Toronto Raptors made history. Coincidence, I think not.

And last but not least, a thank you to the administration, educators, and staff members who walk 10,000 steps every day to ensure our kids are in a safe, nurturing environment.

Wishing everyone an incredible summer!

Davisville School Council

Our School Council will be meeting together with our Davisville School Principal, Ms. Farrelly, this Tuesday, June 18th, to discuss communications initiatives and policies, and how to build a stronger sense of community for our school, especially while we are at Vaughan Road Academy.

We will be meeting starting at 5pm at the Transform Community Cafe (2025 Yonge St.). All Davisville P.S. parents are welcome to attend to share your feedback and suggestions.

Thank you for your input and for your ongoing support of our Davisville School community!

Join us for the last School Council Meeting of the year tonight Tuesday, June 11th, starting at 7pm. The meeting will once again be held at Glebe Road United Church, 20 Glebe Road East, and free childcare and light snacks will be provided.

Rain is forecasted on Saturday, so the Fun Fair is moving inside…There will still be lots of games and activities, including the animal show which begins at 5 pm.
