Friday was FFA Day at the Delaware County Fair, and the Delaware Academy FFA Chapter was well-represented! In the morning, members were judged on their knowledge in different areas, including weed and tree identification. That was followed by a showmanship competition in the dairy show ring that included classes for novice, junior, senior and “VIP” (school administrators). Ms. Liddle, our Middle School Principal, looked like a natural in the show ring! Thanks to Ms. Liddle, DA FFA advisors Mrs. Somers and Mr. Kline, and our participating FFA members: Emily Blackman, Eric Blackman, Hailey Brandenburg, Joshua Brandenburg, Lexi Davis, Mark Jefferys, DeLaney McCann and Levi Shephard.

With the turf installation at Dave Kelly Field now complete, work has shifted to the new track surface. We ask that no one enter the area until the work is finished- foot traffic during the track surface curing process will leave permanent marks. We expect the track work to be completed within the next few weeks. It's an exciting time to be a Bulldog!

It may be summer, but a number of Delaware Academy staff came together Wednesday to review the LINKS Plan through a collaborative process that unites educators in a professional learning community. Together, they reviewed data, reflected on instructional practices, and planned strategically to support and improve student achievement. LINKS is a regional comprehensive action and strategic planning process; Ms. Dutcher and Ms. Liddle attended facilitator training at DCMO BOCES on Tuesday in preparation for Wednesday's session at the school.
