From Our Principal
Spring break is here and I want to thank each of our Delta Center staff members for their continued hard work and dedication to our students. I'd also like to thank all of our students and parents who have worked diligently to make this year a success. Because of this, our students are growing emotionally and improving academically. This spring break is well-deserved; I hope yours is safe and relaxing and that you enjoy this time with family and friends.
March is Reading Month has provided Delta Center with so much to celebrate. Book brackets, mystery readers, and visits from Dr. Barnes, Mrs. Burmeister, Representative Witwer, and Senator Anthony reading to our students, all have made this an amazing month to remember! Keep up the great work, making reading a priority is extremely important during these impressionable years!
As always, if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

WE DID IT!!
Thanks to our amazing families, we have raised $478 on Popcorn Day! This will pay for our bounce house for Field Day in June! Thanks to our PTO and parent volunteers, every student will have popcorn today.
Thank you all again and have an amazing Spring Break!
Delta Center PTO Needs You!
Our PTO provides support for teachers, academic materials for students, and fun activities for students and families. We are in need of volunteers to continue to run! We will have several board positions available at the end of this year and also have many opportunities to be involved, at any commitment level, throughout the year. Without parent participation and support, our PTO will not be able to continue to run. Currently we are looking for one parent per grade level to help with the Silent Auction at our Carnival on May 31. Please consider attending a meeting, volunteering, or reaching out for more information about how you can be involved. To reach us, you can join the Delta Center PTO facebook page or email us at DeltaCenterGLPTO@gmail.com
Thank you!

Happy Friday!
It’s been a great couple of months learning about emotion management in the classroom. Your kids are doing a fantastic job identifying their feelings and using calming strategies to calm themselves. The three calming strategies that we have focused on are taking deep belly breaths (rainbow breathing), muscle relaxation techniques (squeeze the lemons/ drop the lemons) and using positive self-talk.
Starting in April, we will be discussing problem solving strategies and techniques that your kids can use in the classroom and at home. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or need any assistance.
Have a great weekend!

Makerspace needs your help!
We are looking for parent volunteers to help run makerspace on Monday’s during lunch recess!
If you ordered a picture package, you will receive a yearbook at the end of the year. If not, please see the information from Geskus on how to order a yearbook.
If you need to check on your order, please call Geskus at 1-616-453-4170
Thank you!
Birthday Treats
Our classes do not have students bring in birthday treats. We have a number of food related allergies across the building so that is a practice we have not done for quite a number of years now. If your child wants to bring something for the class, it can be non-edible items like bookmarks, pencils, etc.
Thank you for helping to keep our students safe!
