This year’s Cool School Polar Plunge was a huge success! Thank you all for your generosity; your donations through Penny Wars, Candy Grams, popcorn sales, and direct donations to our Cool School Delta Center Chilly Dippers Team totaled a resounding $3,472! Delta Center had the largest cheering section with Mrs. Tropf’s students and several of our Unified Champion students. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Hello all!

As you may know, we participated in the Polar Plunge today. Because our students and families are so amazing and generous, we were able to donate almost $3500 to Special Olympics of Michigan! To reward students for all of their hard work with fundraising, we will be having pajama day next Friday, the 21st to celebrate!

In preparation for March is Reading Month where we celebrate all things reading, we are selling Delta Center reading t-shirts!  These shirts can be worn every Wednesday beginning on February 26th through March, or anytime!  Shirts can be ordered for children and for adults!  Click the link HERE to purchase!  The shirts will be delivered to our school and your child will bring them home when they arrive!  The last day to order shirts is Sunday, February 16th and shirts will be delivered by the end of February!  If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Viecelli at viecellij@glcomets.net.
