We had some pretty special visitors earlier this week, who also happen to be former Delwood students. Our students thought it was pretty cool to have these guys in the building!
Our preschoolers chose to make Mr. Marshall's hair look like a rainbow! He requested that they be the ones to color his hair and they did a great job! Thanks again to everyone who donated to our Kleenex drive - our classrooms will be stocked for quite some time!
998!
That is the number of boxes of Kleenex we collected! One of our preschool classes brought in 281 boxes and they have decided what color Mr. Marshall's hair will be. Thank you to everyone who sent Kleenex -- we are so appreciative to have such a supportive community!
