Delwood CSD

Student Council kicked off Red Ribbon Week with a skit. They did a great job!

This week is Red Ribbon Week and one of the topics that will be discussed with students this week is bullying. Mrs. Flanigan, our Guidance Counselor, uses this image when explaining the term bullying to students.

Just a reminder - we have dress-up days this week for Red Ribbon Week: Monday - Our Dreams are Too Big for Drugs! (pajamas) Tuesday - Say Peace out to Drugs! (tie dye clothing) Wednesday - From Head to Toe, I'm Drug Free! (crazy hair & socks) Thursday - Color My World Drug Free! (each class wears a different color: preschool-orange, kindergarten-yellow, 1st-pink, 2nd-gray, 3rd-blue, 4th-black, 5th-green, 6th-red) Friday - Stomp out Drugs! (mismatched shoes)

We love allowing prospective future educators the opportunity to come into our school and get a glimpse of what it is like to be a teacher. This one holds a special place in our hearts, as it is one of our own former students.

Thank you to all of the parents who attended conferences this week! Our teachers appreciate you taking the time to meet with them. Reminder - there is no school tomorrow, Friday, October 22nd. Have a great weekend!

Kindergarten students ended Fire Safety Week with a visit from Firefighter Marshall, who also happens to be our Principal!

Mrs. Kleinsmith's kindergarten class made stone soup. Once it was done cooking, they sampled it and by the looks on their faces, it must have been delicious!

First grade students have enjoyed some time outdoors the past couple of weeks developing their skills of striking a stationary object with short and long handled implements in PE.

Just a reminder...order forms for PTO's Prep, Freeze, Cook fundraiser are due this Friday, October 15th. Order forms can be turned into the office.

We love when parents come to visit - especially when they drive something as cool as a semi! A parent of one of Ms. Cathy's students stopped by and told students a little about her job. Our students then had the opportunity to climb up into the cab of the semi. Thank you for visiting, Sue!

Fourth grade students in Mrs. LaMar's class created murals representing Native American life in different regions of North America in social studies.

Mrs. Eberhart's second grade class took advantage of this dreary day and enjoyed reading by flashlight!

The first grade students in Mrs. Helmle's class built roller coasters as part of a science lesson.

Here are a few pictures from guidance with sixth grade students demonstrating something they enjoy!

Prep, Freeze, Cook is back! Support our PTO and enjoy some freezer meals. Order forms are due on Friday, October 15th

Fifth grade students also had the opportunity to tell their classmates about an activity that they enjoy or share something that is important to them in guidance.

Here are a few more pictures of fourth graders showing their classmates something that they enjoy doing or something that is important to them during guidance.
