The annual October Elementary Sock Hop was a fun night for all! What a great way to spend a rainy Friday evening, than to spend an evening watching your elementary student dance to the Chicken Dance, play games, get their face painted, and even get their nails done!
It was wonderful to see so many families attend this event. Many studies have shown that a child's school success can directly correlate to a families involvement in their education. We want to continue to to provide more low cost opportunities like the Sock Hop for our families. Please feel free to e-mail me with an idea for a future family event at dschuler@delano.k12.mn.us
I would like to thank the DES PIE Sock Hop chairpersons Sarah Baker and Angie Green for their time in organizing this event. Thank you to the parents and over twenty DES staff who volunteered their time as well. See you at our next family event!

Schuler's Scoop
Welcome to the first edition of Schuler's Scoop. I will be using my blog to communicate what is happening at Delano Elementary. I would welcome your feedback and I hope you enjoy learning more about our school.
Critter and Company Lyceum
On Wednesday our students had the oppertunity to view the third installment of Critter's and Company lyceum. Each year we have contracted with Greg Olson of Critters and Company to provide our staff and students with a 50 minute presentation that uses live animals to show students how animals relate to one another, and how we relate to one another as human beings. Greg Olson uses animals because it allows him to connect with students when their defenses are down. By using animals, he is able to deliver a message to students in a way that they will likely remember. This year's theme was "Attitudes That Make A Difference" The animals that were featured in the presentation were a Red Lored Amazon, Red-Tailed Hawk, Wallaby, Tortoise, Snake, Dove, and Hedgehogs.
In past years we have had presentations on"Friends and Choices" and "Teasing: Harassment in Disguise." Please take a minute at home to ask your child about the presentation and what they saw and heard. If you would like more info on the program please visit www.crittersandcompany.com
