Hello Delaney Families,

It's been another busy week at the Delaney School.  Our Transitional Kindergarten students successfully switched over to their full day schedule and our K-3 students started up their half year of art with Mrs. Lovely.  We survived the crazy weather of the week; enjoying a few warm days and are looking forward to a wonderful weekend (although we all wish we would be watching the Patriots play on Sunday)!

The second and third grade girls are very excited about tonight's Father/Daughter Dance. Thank you to the PTO for hosting this wonderful event.  Have a great time ladies!

Mark Your Calendars...

WEST will be raising money for...

 Dancing with the Wrentham Stars!

Our own Dr.Marsden is one of six local “stars” paired up with a 

professional dancer to participate in a fun and friendly fundraising and dancing 

competition. The Stars are competing for two awards, The People’s Choice Award 

and The Judges’ Choice Award.  

The People’s Choice Award will be presented to the Star who receives the most 

votes! 

How Can You Help?

Buy a Star-- Monday, February 4th through Friday, March 8th.
Stars will be available for $1 each in the 3 school offices.  Supporters can purchase a star and put their name on it.  One star equals one vote for Dr. Marsden at the dancing competition.  The stars will be displayed in the school lobbies until March 8th. All stars will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win an electric razor scooter.  

Coin Challenge --From Monday, February 4th through Monday, February 11th. 
WEST will be having a school-wide coin challenge during lunchtime in the cafeterias.  Each grade will have a bucket to place spare change in.  All pennies and paper money will be added to a grade level's total.  Silver money will be subtracted from the total.  Students are urged to put pennies in their own grade's bucket and silver change in another grade's bucket.  Teachers will have a bucket too.  There will be a prize for the grade with the highest total at the end of the competition. WEST members will be available throughout lunch to help with the process.

Supporters can also make a direct donation to WEST on Dr. Marsden's behalf.  All donations will be used to "purchase votes" for Dr. Marsden on the night of the competition. 

100% of the money collected from all of these fundraisers will go directly to WEST.

Thank you in advance for your support!

As always, thank you for reading.  See you next week!

Sincerely,

Melissa D. Peterson
