On April 25, Delta Middle School honored a select group of eighth grade students. They were recognized not only for their academic effort, but also for being independent workers, questioners, thinkers, challengers and believers. These students are supportive of the school and what DMS aims to accomplish. As students they brighten everyone’s day and they challenge staff to think along a different path, but most of all, they make DMS staff want to come to work every day to do their very best. The eight students were named to the Hall of Honor and will have their handprint and name placed on a tile that will be mounted in the middle school hallway. Congratulations to the 2011-2012 honorees who have truly had a positive impact on Delta Middle School: Cruz Arias, Shanan Davey, Jade Mahaffey, Kory Mills, Mykayla Music, Kaisa Simon, Anthony Streich and Jamie Sutliff.
