Delaware Elementary School

Welcome to our summer series☀️, Throw Back Thursday! Our first throw back is our STUCO Family Night!

Our Delaware families enjoyed community time, a movie , pizza meals, snacks, and a raffle!

Our student leaders called local business to get donations to raffle during the event. Our students raised $803 for Make-a-Wish!

We are grateful for Mrs. Kennedy’s support in developing student leaders and the generous support of the Delaware community! 💚

Families,

Unfortunately, it looks like we have significant rain in the forecast for tomorrow. We plan to host a picnic-style lunch in the building. Below you will see the assigned spots per grade level. You are still welcome to sign your kids out after, but we request that you stay in the students' assigned area. You are welcome to bring blankets and chairs.

Delaware kids, got talent! Our students showed off their talent, creativity, and passion at our annual talent show. We so proud of our students! Families, thank you for sharing your gifted kiddos with us! 💚

Lunch on the Lawn is May 22nd at 11:00 am. You are welcome to bring outside lunch to your child. Please let your child’s classroom teacher know if you are bringing lunch, so the student doesn't get a sack lunch from the lunchroom.

Below is the map of where students will be sitting. If you prefer to sit elsewhere, you will need to sign your student out. This ensures that teachers are not trying to collect students at the end of lunch. If your student will be staying at school, please stay seated with their class. If you plan to sign your student out, please let the teacher know so that the student can bring their belongings.

We are excited to celebrate a great school year with our Delaware community!

Field Day 2026! 🏐🧽🏃‍♀️

Our students had a blast at Field Day! Thank you Coach for planning a fun and engaging experience for our students. Thank you to our volunteers for donating your time. 💚

A BIG thank you to Foundation for Springfield Public Schools for funding our school wide field trip to Dickerson Park Zoo.

Each of our classes did a research project, based on a grade level standard, around animals you would find at the zoo. Today our students have set up a gallery walk to share their projects. I am so proud of our commitment to growth and learning.

Our Cardinals' Baseball Night has been rescheduled for May 26th at 6:35 pm. Students will bring home 2 physical tickets today.

To wrap up the week, we used our Tats for Teachers money to send teachers on a hunt for well-deserved gift cards!
