Edward Devotion School

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Edward Devotion Elementary School, affectionately known as "Devo," is a public elementary school located at 345 Harvard Street, Brookline, Massachusetts, USA. The school was founded in 1894 on land bequeathed to the town by Edward Devotion, and is probably named for his eponymous grandfather the Constable for what was then Muddy River around 1650. Devotion's 17th century house is preserved by the Brookline Historical Society and stands amidst part of its original gardens in the school's forecourt. The school was attended by John F. Kennedy from kindergarten in 1922 to third grade. The School is currently attended by over 700 students from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade, drawn primarily from the Coolidge Corner neighborhood, and is the largest of eight public elementary schools in Brookline
