Devers Pre-K-8

Our amazing secretary, Ms. Mily, is leaving us! While we’re thrilled for her next adventure, we’re also slightly offended she didn’t consider staying forever. From answering endless phone calls to keeping us all in check, she’s been the real MVP of Devers. We’ll miss you greatly! Thank you for everything—you’ve kept this place running, and we’re forever grateful. Wishing you all the success in your new role! 💙🧡🎉

Devers' Little Free Library is officially open! This student-inspired project came to life after Mrs. Pagan-SanMartin's third-grade ELD class read A Library of Our Own and dreamed of creating their own. With teamwork from staff and students, that dream is now a reality! Stop by, take a book, leave a book, and keep the love of reading alive! 📚 #BearcatPride🐾
