Congratulations to Teacher of the Year 2012 - Lynn Knable

The PBS Spaghetti Dinner was a huge success.

Thank you so much to all the volunteers, especially the CR baseball, golf, and tennis teams! 

Polar Bear Plunge was a great success! Below is the picture of the Charlton Team!

'Bears' help shatter records all

 weekend long

The numbers are in ... and they are astounding. Records were set during three events at the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge Weekend Festival.

Run to the Plunge: 774 runners and walkers raised over $22,300.
Restaurant Chili Contest: 450 ballots were turned and the event raised $2,500.
Polar Bear Plunge: 3,685 participants raised over $650,000.

All were records, as was the water temperature, which was a "balmy" 47 degrees (previous record was 43 degrees).

"It was another remarkable year, which just goes to show you the support the community has for the 3,500 Special Olympics athletes here in Delaware," said Jon Buzby, spokesperson for Special Olympics Delaware. "What we hope more than anything, is that the Bears who plunged, and those who watched them, walked away with an even greater appreciation for the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities, and not just on the playing fields. For that, we can't thank the Bears enough!"

The Plunge, which is sponsored by Wawa and Comcast, has raised over $6.15 million in its 21-year history.

Building SMART Goals

2a) In all grade levels, maintain attendance of 91.6% or greater.

2b) In all grade levels, increase percent of excused absences to 80% (homebound included as excused).

3a) To maintain 100% of graduating students connected with DDDS.

3b) To increase the number of graduated students working at a job to or adult service provider by %.

4) Every teacher will have at least one classroom event per year showcasing their students’ abilities or learned skills in which parents will be invited to during the 2011-2012 school year. This will be in addition to the already offered school-wide events.
