Thank you!

As we approach this Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to express how truly grateful I am to be part of the Delta Center community. Our team thrives because of our strong partnership with you, our dedicated families. Your commitment to your child's education is deeply appreciated, and their achievements are a testament to the invaluable school-home connection we share.

I also want to acknowledge the incredible efforts of our dedicated teachers and support staff, whose tireless work helps our students grow and succeed. Every day, I am thankful for the parents and community members who support our school in countless ways—your unwavering commitment does not go unnoticed.

As we look ahead, our PTO is excited to launch the Twelve Days of Giving, starting on December 3rd. Detailed information can be found below and on the Delta Center PTO Facebook page.

November’s STAR Student Celebration was a huge hit! Each teacher’s selected STAR student had the chance to pie their teacher in the face, bringing plenty of laughter and excitement. In addition to recognizing our STAR students, staff members also selected a STAR staff member for the month. Congratulations to Mrs. Gaffner, who earned the honor and had the opportunity to pie me in the face! The energy and enthusiasm during the assembly were unmatched—it was truly a memorable celebration!

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

Teresa Dyer

Thank you for your support! 

Here's hoping you have a great upcoming Thanksgiving break! As we return to school, we will be embracing the cold and the change of seasons by diving into our winter projects. We'll be covering new artists like Charley Harper, new techniques like paper collage, mixing up some color theory, and even adding some sparkle with glitter (I apologize in advance ).  

Original Works Ordering is Still a Go!

Yep, you heard that right! If you forgot to order, want to order more, or your dear Aunt Sally finally got back to you on their request, then you're in luck  Our initial ordering window has ended but that doesn't mean we've closed shop! Orders can still be made for Original Works during our "Second Chance/Late" ordering window!

This window is open and runs through December 6th and 13th. For artwork that is already in our online Gallery, ordering is still the same using the website and your student's access code to locate and place orders. You can even share the links and codes with family and friends and they can place their own orders! The last day for online orders is December 13th. For artwork that was not scanned or for new artwork, please return the artwork and order form to me by December 6th to allow for shipping. Please note that delivery dates for late/additional orders are not guaranteed for specific arrival dates, but I will keep you updated as often as possible of their potential delivery in January.

Dates to Remember:

"SECOND CHANCE/LATE" DUE DATE (ONLINE): Friday, December 13th. 

"SECOND CHANCE/LATE" DUE DATE (MANUAL): Friday, December 6th. 

DELIVERY DATE (online/manual | initial deadline): Products already ordered are currently scheduled to arrive by Wednesday, December 11th. Stay tuned for more info regarding an evening pick up opportunity at the school!

DELIVERY DATE (“second chance” deadline): TBD. Current estimated arrival January.

BONUS: Do you have a DC alum who misses creating keepsake art? A future DC artist who wants to be a part of the fun? Let me know! I can provide paper, steps, and criteria to follow, and they too can participate as part of the manual ordering process  !

If you have any questions, feel free to email me: belldeann@glcomets.net. Don't forget to check out our Delta Center art room facebook page (Mrs. BellDean's DC Art Room) for important updates and amazing art!

As always, thank you for your continued support in our students and our school ! Have a great Thanksgiving!

What is a makerspace ? It is a place where students can build, create, innovate, and explore with tools and STEM based activities.  The goal is to be able to provide this learning experience to ALL of our students.Any questions please reach out to Brooke Ward. 

We are looking for parent volunteers to help run
