Students report successful Warrior Fest, homecoming events and transition fair; choir performed at meeting
Summary
Student representatives described Warrior Fest, game-day broadcasts, homecoming activities and community service events. The chamber choir performed at the start of the Oct. 16 board meeting and students highlighted upcoming events including a trunk-or-treat and pumpkin-decorating contest.
Students and staff reported a busy fall of extracurricular and community events at the Oct. 16 Delaware Valley School District board meeting. A chamber choir opened the meeting with a performance and student representatives detailed recent activities including Warrior Fest, homecoming, a day of caring and a transition fair.
Student leaders said Warrior Fest on Sept. 26 drew local businesses, school clubs and athletic teams to campus for booths and fundraising. The high school's “Game Day” broadcast and spirit-week activities — including a powder-puff game and a field-goal competition — were singled out for strong student participation; students reported more than 600 attendees at homecoming and said the district’s student newspaper channel on YouTube covered the events.
Students described community service during a Day of Caring (Sept. 20) at locations including nursing homes and local organizations and said they had collected community-service hours. They announced upcoming events: a pumpkin-decorating and carving contest, trunk-or-treat (theme: movies), an art Friday to wear orange for anti-bullying and a planned pink-themed breast-cancer awareness day the week of Halloween. Students noted the choir will perform at a Veterans Day breakfast and at December events with Tri-State Chorale.
Administrators reported a well-attended transition fair on Oct. 7 with more than 30 providers and said the district will have cyclical special-education monitoring on Dec. 8, the state’s six-year review of special-education services.
Ending School leaders thanked students and community volunteers and encouraged families to view student-produced broadcasts on the district’s YouTube channel; administrators noted upcoming work sessions and regular meetings for further discussion of capital planning and academics.
