Week 3 (9/16-9/20)

Hello Delaney Families,

It's been a busy week here at the Delaney!  Open House was very successful and it was great to see all of you in attendance.  On behalf of the entire Delaney staff, we would like to thank you for coming and we look forward to working with you all throughout the school year. 

This week, several of our classes viewed  "Alexander, The Elephant Who Couldn't Eat Peanuts".  This educational video helps to introduce some basis information regarding food allergies and reinforces the importance of  not sharing food and being mindful of individual differences.  This video is a small part of our ongoing efforts to keep all Delaney students safe and healthy.  For more information, please feel free to contact our school nurses

This week a KidStuff Coupon Book was sent home with one child per family.  If you wish to purchase the book, please return

$25 in the envelope provided.  If you do not wish to purchase, please return the book with your child to their teacher. 

Our PTO earns at least 50% or more profit from the sale of these books.  Use just a few coupons and save more than the cost of the book!

This is the PTO's main fundraiser this Fall!  Thank you for your support! E-mail wrenthampto@gmail.com with questions.
