Students in Ms. Mostert's first grade class made peanut butter dog biscuits today. They'll donate them to the Heart of the Catskills Humane Society in Delhi. Some will be available for sale at the Heart of the Catskills Humane Society "Holiday for the Heart Tree Celebration" this Saturday at the Delaware County Historical Association (the rest are treats for the dogs at the shelter, of course!). This is the second year Ms. Mostert's class made biscuits to donate.

Delaware Academy Sources of Strength would like to help our students and community train their brains to be more positive, hopeful, and resilient! Writing down three new things we are grateful for each day for 21 days can physically change our brains, creating neural pathways that help our brains focus more on the positive. To build awareness that GRATITUDE is a protective factor, we challenge you to join us in writing down three things you are grateful for for 21 days! Spread the Word!
