Congratulations to the Delaware Academy Class of 2025! The 205th Commencement Ceremony is now over, and we thank all the friends, family, teachers, administrators, board trustees and staff who came to support and celebrate our candidates for graduation. There will be more photos (many more!) to come, but these give a sense of this lovely event. #DAclassof2025
The final day, and that means barbeque and kind words for our retirees. Teachers and staff enjoyed a delicious barbeque lunch prepared by Jason and Addy McGlone from “Get Some BBQ" and served by administrators and staff. Mr. Shultz thanked everyone for a great year, and recognized staff members Herman "Skip" Bugge, Nancy Hein, Kelli Grogan-Brown and Lori Padovani on their retirements. Ms.Trask recognized retiring high school teachers Terry Legg and Kathy Whittaker. Kiley Lamoreaux was also recognized and wished well as she moves on. It was a great ending to a great school year!
Pie, anyone?
These delicious works of art were created in Ms. Reid-Jackson's art class this spring. While you can't eat them, you can put things in them– they're pie boxes!

The lower softball/soccer field is nearing completion, and it looks great! Wonder how you fit a soccer field in the same place as a softball field? The yellow lines are a clue!
The Class of 2025 took their robes for a spin this morning, enjoying the traditional "Senior Walk" through the high, middle and elementary schools. There were a lot of high fives at the elementary school! #DAclassof2025

Work continues on Dave Kelly Field, with significant progress made every day. Here's how things looked on Wednesday.
Did you catch the parade? The class of 2025 assembled on Wednesday with their vehicles to receive their caps and gowns in front of the school. Then the convoy took a spin around the elementary school and downtown Delhi (on Farmer's Market Day!) to the cheering and waving of friends, families and others. #daclassof2025
Ahhh..... summer!
The Class of 2025 enjoyed a senior trip to Ocean City, Maryland May 31st - June 2nd. Mrs. Whittaker, Mr. Santaiti, Mrs. Gioffe, Ms. Cheshire and Ms. Trask got to go along, and all had a great time! #DAclassof2025
Seniors took to the hill overlooking Dave Kelly Field on June 18 to continue the long tradition of painting the rock. #DAClassof2025
Members of the Delaware Academy SADD chapter gave the elementary students a fun send off to the buses last week to celebrate one week left of school and bulldog pride! What a fun year it’s been!

Mrs. Gibson and some of the 6th graders held a musical instrument "petting zoo" for Mrs. Coleman's preschool class last week. Students got to touch, hold and try some different instruments to become more familiar with them. It was great fun for everyone!
Due to the expected heat this week, Delaware Academy will operate on a half-day schedule for grades PreK thru 6 on Monday, June 23 and Tuesday, June 24.
As a result, students will be dismissed at 11:30 AM from Monday through Thursday of this week. There is no change to scheduled Regents examinations.
