Singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker Jared Campbell visited Delaware Academy today, with assemblies for elementary and middle school students. Students were engaged from the get-go by his wit, energy and music, and his uplifting and caring messages resonated with the students. His appearance was made possible by a grant from the A. L. Kellogg Foundation. Thank you, Mr. Campbell, for speaking (and singing!) from the heart!
What a wonderful concert by our middle school musical groups Tuesday night! Thank you Mrs. Gibson, Ms. Lindner, and Mrs. Hillis for preparing such an impressive program. Thanks as well to Mrs. Wheatley and Mr. Gibson for their assistance!
Let's go, Bulldogs!
Looking for some spirit? We've got a whole week's worth at the high school! Here's a schedule for next week's Spirit Week!
On Tuesday, December 17, Delaware Academy Central School at Delhi will ask taxpayers to help the district gain an additional $400,000 by holding a vote on an energy performance contract intended to reduce the district’s energy costs. The project totals $3.6 million and will be fully funded over the 18-year period through state aid and savings in energy costs. There will be no impact on the local school tax levy.
What makes this vote unusual is that the project itself is not subject to voter approval, but if a community vote is held and passes, the district can receive an additional 10% in state aid toward project costs, saving about $400,000.
There will be a discussion and opportunity to ask questions about the project on Monday, December 16 at the regular Board of Education meeting, beginning at 6:00 pm in the Libarary Media Center. The vote will take place on Tuesday, December 17 from noon to 8:00 pm in the Middle School Gymnasium Lobby. Additional information is available on the district webpage: www.delhischools.org/page/energy-performance-contract
We were thrilled to see everybody that came out Friday night for the big Delhi Holiday Parade! Our marching band was happy to provide the sounds of the season. Thanks to Jennifer McGonigal and Ailisa Boyer for sharing their photos of the band.

Mrs. Kane and 10 Sources of Strength Peer Leaders from the high school volunteered to do gratitude activities with the 4th and 5th grade students in November. They helped students complete a thankfulness chain, with each student writing down one thing they are thankful for on a paper link, and Peer Leaders assembling the chain. They also helped students write a thank-you note to a person of their choice. They were encouraged to share the note with the person they chose. The activity closed by playing one of the high school students' favorite games: reverse charades. The clues were created by the Peer Leaders and showcased a few of the things they are grateful for. We are grateful for our SOS Peer Leaders!
If your school's on a hill, you know what to do when it snows! #bulldogsonsleds
