Meet Sara Werlau, one of the new staff members joining us at Delaware Academy this year!
Visitors to the school sometimes get the attention of Mr. Ferrara, the SRO. This one DEFINITELY did!
The New York State Sports Writers Association has released their list of all-state football players for the 2024 season, and it includes several DA players.

Our second team (Asa Moxley, Eveline Ainsworth, Ben Hadley, and Ella O'Leary) finished with a 2-1 record. Congratulations! #academicbulldogs

Students from Ms. Lindner's Band Ensemble provided some cheerful music in the high school lobby one afternoon before the holiday break! #muscialbulldogs
Mr. Broesler’s an art teacher?! For this high school physical education class he was! The activity is called “team drawing,” part of the team building/team communication unit. The students are working together to draw what Mr. Broesler drew on the white board (a stick figure). The students try to coordinate with each other to replicate the drawing. It’s as hard (and fun!) as it looks!
New year, new month, new menus!
Available for download on the DA website.
Wishing all of our Delaware Academy families and friends who are celebrating this week a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah!
All Delaware Academy fall varsity sports teams have been designated “Scholar Athlete Teams” by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA). To qualify as a team, 75% of a team’s average GPA for the season must be equal to or greater than 90%. Additionally, students received individual scholar-athlete recognition by earning an individual average of 90 or above this winter season, whether their team qualified or not. Last year, Delaware Academy achieved scholar athlete team recognition for all of its varsity sports teams across all three seasons. Shown are representatives from each of the fall varsity sports teams (one was unavailable for photo) with Deputy Superintendent Carey Shultz and Athletic Coordinator Kyle Murray.
DASH, the Bassett School-Based Health Center at Delaware Academy, will be closed during the holiday break. They will reopen Thursday, January 2.
The National Junior Honor Society’s Food Drive last month collected almost 400 canned and boxed non-perishable items, which were donated to the food pantry at United Ministry of Delhi. Congratulations to the Class of 2029 for collecting the most, and to the NJHS for a successful community service project! #generousbulldogs
Students in Mrs. Sherman's Family & Consumer Sciences 6 class practiced their measuring and fabric cutting skills in class. Everyone made a fleece tie blanket to take home– just in time for the cold weather ahead!
Got gnomes? Mrs. Reid-Jackson’s 6th grade art class does! The students created sketches and designed their gnomes, built them by hand, added details and texture and then they were fired. After glazing and firing, they look fabulous! #artisticbulldogs
Let's go, Bulldogs!
It was another night of wonderful music on Thursday at the High School Winter Concert. Thank you to Mrs. Gibson, Ms. Lindner, Mrs. Hillis and Mrs. Wheatley, and of course to all our talented students (and guest musician Rebecca Harrington)!
