A message from our principal…
September 2014
Thursday,
September 18th,
Dear Deltona Lakes Elementary Family,
Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year. I look forward to another successful school year as
we work together to provide the best educational experience for our students. Thanks to the
outstanding participation of our parents, business partners and community volunteers
throughout the year, we once again received the Five Star School Award and the Golden
School Award. I am appreciative and proud of the faculty, students, staff, and stakeholders
who work diligently each and every day to help DLE achieve these recognitions and awards.
6-7 p.m.
Due to a decline in student enrollment, promotions, relocations and retirements, we welcome a few new teachers to our fabulous Deltona Lakes family! Joining us this school year
are the following people:

This year we are excited to be partnering with a truly
hassle-free fundraiser called Shoparoo! Nationwide, over
10,000 schools are already earning hundreds and even
thousands of dollars through Shoparoo and it’s a great
opportunity for us to really make a difference this year!
Shoparoo is fundraising made easy: turn pictures of your everyday
shopping receipts into cash donations and sweepstakes entries for our
school with this free app. Yep, it’s that simple. No more cutting labels,
selling door to door, or time-consuming coordinating. Just shop, snap,
earn. (Or drop off receipts to the office if that is easier.)
Get started today:
1. Download the free Shoparoo app from the Apple App Store or
Google Play Store.
2. Select our school from the list and start taking pictures of your receipts - shop anywhere, buy anything!
3. Earn even more points by spreading the word and inviting others to
join.
There’s no limit to how much money we can raise with Shoparoo. The
more supporters, the more we will raise for our school. Also, each of
our first 20 participants will earn a guaranteed $1 donation from Shoparoo for their first receipt! Check out shoparoo.com to learn more
about this awesome hassle-free program. Thank you for your support!
Please save your Box Tops
and Labels for Education.
An easy DLE fundraiser!
In the art room this year,
we have gone under the sea
to
live
in
the
“OCEAN”. We will be
creating art that captures
our ocean theme and studying artists who were also
captivated by the mysteries
of the ocean. For our first
week whole school project,
each child created a
“unique fish” which is now
swimming in a school of
fish around our room. Students were so excited to
find
their
unique
fish. Next, we will be creating octopuses, turtles, and
“surprise” fish among other
sea creatures. Kindergarten students will be learning how to cooperate with one another in “art centers” Think – “herding cats”!
And all grade levels will be creating individual and group projects related to our ocean theme for the months to come. Please ask
your children to share what they are learning and making and share what you know with them. I may also be asking for materials
from home upon occasion and first up is EGG CARTONS. The cardboard or Styrofoam ones are both fine. If there are any parents
out there who work in a restaurant with the larger flats, those would be great too. Also, the small black oval trays that Lean Cuisines or similar foods are served in make great paint trays so those are welcome and appreciated too. I look forward to a fabulous
creative year with your children. - Mrs. Field, Art Teacher
