Parents, we are going to put the kids in the FEMA building at 2 pm just to be safe. There is also a chance, if these storms are still going, that we might hold the buses just a little bit later.
THANK YOU to those FFA & Ag Education supporters in our area and throughout the state for the $1000 donation to help aid our Delta FFA/Ag Ed students affected by the tornado that swept through our community. It was VERY much appreciated and put to good use by our families. Living to Serve!!
The Delta Art Club took a road trip today to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
A strong line of severe thunderstorms will pass through at about 8:45 pm. We are under a tornado watch. The FEMA building is open. Reminder: do NOT bring pets of any kind into the building (dogs, cats, birds, mice, other, etc). No animals. The building is open if you need it.
Here are updated brackets for the Oak Ridge Tournament. Also, the Oak Ridge FFA/ FCCLA are having a fish fry today in the HS Gym. All you can buffet style fish fry with all the fixins for $15. No pets are allowed at their fields unless they are service animals.
No baseball or softball games today. Updated brackets will be posted once we get them.
We will be back in school tomorrow. If your family was displaced and your child can't make it to school, please just contact the office. We understand. If your family is impacted by flood waters (Chris Williams's route), please let us know. We will follow this up with a Facebook post.
We have food but no milk. That should be delivered tomorrow. Crews are working hard to get nails out of the roadways. And we are praying for some relief with flood waters on side roads. If everything goes right in the next 24 hours, we could have school Wednesday.
We are waiting on the food truck (all of our food was spoiled and/or donated). We need some of the flooding to go back down. And we need to get the debris/nails out of the road. So no school tomorrow.
Barring any unforeseen circumstance, we anticipate having the community of Delta back on by 7:30 this evening. Some of the power is already starting to come on. It will come back on very slowly a few businesses/homes at a time.
Residents affected by the Delta Tornado are encouraged to visit the Community Center on Sunday, April 6th from 2:30-5:30p to report recovery needs.
