Happy Founder's Weekend
Somehow it's already Founder's Weekend, what a fast semester it's been! This is a weekend of celebration and feast here at Del honouring St John de La Salle and what he created.
This week we had a parent's night, the official opening of the Rocco L. Martino Innovation Centre and of course today our Founder's Day festivities. It was an important week of celebration.
As we head into the weekend and the official Founder's Day on Sunday, it's also an important weekend of giving for the school. If you'd like to help us ensure that all of our students can continue to receive a Lasallian Education, click the link below!
Happy Founder's Weekend everyone!

Science Fair Sign Up
The Grade 7 students have been working extremely hard on their projects and are very excited to share their scientific research.
The Science Fair will be held on May 26th from 9-11am, and we are in need of parent volunteers to act as judges. This volunteer opportunity is open to anyone in the DEL community, and you do not need to have a child in Grade 7 to participate.
For parents who have children in Grade 5 and 6, this is a great way to learn about the Science Fair project your child will be completing in Grade 7. For more information and a link to sign-up:
