Wishing all our Bulldog families a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season!
Students from Delaware Academy’s high school Community Action Service Art class visited the Delhi Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on Friday to deliver ornaments that they’d made to the residents. The class, taught by Wendy Reid-Jackson, made around 170 brightly colored angel ornaments, some of which they handed out directly to residents during their visit. They also delivered some art gifts that had been created by elementary students in their art classes, which are taught by Aric Kollig. The residents enjoyed visiting with the students and appreciated the angel ornaments.
Ms. Trask and Mr. Shultz braved the snowflakes this morning to greet students for the last day of school before the break. Ms. Lindner, Ms. Lamb, Mr. Baxter and students Dylan Leddy and Lily McGonigal serenaded arriving students with Christmas carols, continuing a DA tradition and setting a seasonal spirit for the day!

Students from the Modern Band and Music Theory classes visited Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Monday with Mrs. Gibson and Ms. Lindner. Students toured the museum, which tells the story of both the iconic music festival that took place there and the broader cultural evolution in politics, music, art, and the big societal issues of the time. They also posed at the Woodstock Festival Monument, which commemorates the site of the original Woodstock Music Festival in 1969. It was a pretty groovy day!
Plenty of athletic events this week! Let's Go, Bulldogs!
