New Books
4 boxes of shiny, exciting new books have just arrived at Delta Elementary. Watch the shelves for their appearance in the coming weeks!

Battle of the Books
The battle books haven't yet arrived but they are being hurried our way from our trusty supplier. In the meantime, check the library for hardback copies or visit our fantastic [|Delta Community Library] where they have all of the Battle Books waiting for you to check them out!

Reading Counts
Our funtastic Reading Counts program is just getting started for the year. Our computer technicians had some technical issues to tend to in other buildings but they have us nearly 100% functional now. Students have taken their initial SRI assessment to see the level at which they might feel most comfortable reading. The library books are marked with colored stars which correspond to these levels so we are ready to READ and TAKE QUIZZES and READ some more!
