Delaware Academy District Superintendent Kelly Zimmerman attended the Rural Schools Association of New York State Winter Conference last week in Saratoga Springs, where she moderated a panel discussion on mental health issues facing schools. RSA also released its 2024 policy brief to state leaders that was partially informed by a Rural Issues Forum held at Delaware Academy last spring. Mrs. Zimmerman, an RSA board member, had the privilege of presenting the RSA Appreciation Award to Dr. Chris Kjolhede, Co-Director of Bassett Healthcare System’s School-Based Health Centers. Bassett's first school-based health center opened 31 years ago at Delaware Academy, and the school is proud of that continuing partnership and the benefits that it brings to our students and families.
Reminder– the Middle School concert is tomorrow night in the high school auditorium. Come enjoy the performances!

Delaware Academy Sources of Strength would like to help our students and community train their brains to be more positive, hopeful, and resilient!

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!
