You Can Help!

We have a student missing a size 7/8 black coat with a bright pink lining. It is made by Faded Glory. They have a size 6X instead so it is a case of an unintended switch. If your child has a similar coat, please check to make sure yours is the correct size. We would recommend that students put their names in their coats to help us when this happens.

Sub Bus Drivers Needed-If you are interested in applying for a substitute bus driver position, please contact Mark Clawson, the Director of Transportation, at 288-7555 for details.

Bee Cards-We had a bee card drawing this week. Students earn bee cards from adults in the building for doing something positive. The more cards they earn, the better their chances of having their name drawn. Those drawn get to choose a prize. There are several drawings throughout the year and a final drawing is held as part of the awards program on the final day of school. This is just one way that we try to encourage our wonderful students.

Community Partners-Community Partners provides help to families with children in Delaware County. They can help connect families to needed resources. This is a free service. Families cannot be actively involved with the Department of Child Services or Healthy Families. If you feel that this would be a service your family could use, please contact Mrs. Hansell, our school counselor.

The Delta High School Athletic Department will be conducting a raffle tonight at the boys’ basketball game. Two drawings will be made. One prize will be a year’s worth of oil changes complements of Meineke Car Care in Muncie. The grand prize will be a set of new tires (a value of up to $500). The grand prize is also donated by Meineke. Raffle tickets will be available at the door. The cost is $1 for one ticket and $5 for six tickets.

Thank you!

Thank you for your help with the January service project.

Our kindergarten classes reached their goal of at least 100 items to donate to ARF.

Please do not make summer plans too early. Also, if the weather is acceptable, the students will go outside for recess. Please make sure that your child has on close-toed shoes, long pants, and a coat when it is cold.
