Congratulations to Dell City ISD staffers Susie Estrada, Elsa McCray and Adriana Sanchez, who were recognized at a May 29 school board meeting for going “above and beyond” in their work at the school.
The Dell City School, and the Dell Valley community, are proud of the 10 members of the Class of 2019, and are excited for them as they enter a new chapter in their lives.
The school had a “Senior Walk” this week. In caps and gowns, seniors, and graduating pre-K and kindergarten students, marched the halls, and then, in the school courtyard, seniors shared words of advice with the young students.
Dell City ISD's Teachers of the Year were announced last week at the school board's monthly meeting. Erika Gamez, the district's kinder and first-grade teacher, was named the elementary teacher of the year, and math teacher Paula Walston is teacher of the year for secondary.
Homer Scrimshire Jr. – “JR” – has been recognized for the outstanding contribution he's making to the Dell City School. The district's maintenance staffer, Scrimshire is a “craftsman,” and, with his fine workmanship, he's helped create a new and improved atmosphere for our students and staff.
It's been a busy year of renovations to the Dell City School campus – and the work continues. Air-conditioning units are being installed in the cafeteria and gym, a new Ag shop is in the works, and a school greenhouse is under construction. And it's almost time to open new playground equipment up to students for playtime.
The “school guardian” program – in which several district staffers carry concealed firearms, to deter, or respond to, a mass shooting – is now in effect at Dell City ISD.
Virginia Ramirez joins Dell City ISD this year as the district's fifth- and sixth-grade teacher. She brings to the job not only teaching experience, but the diverse real-world experiences of a self-described “lifelong learner.”
