It's Game Day!!!
The parking lot has a fresh new look! We’ve striped the parking lot next to the football stadium to make parking easier and keep traffic flowing smoothly on game nights.

When you arrive tonight, please park only in designated spaces so everyone can get in and out safely. Thank you for helping us create a safe and enjoyable game day experience. See you tonight under the lights!

📚 Our fifth graders enjoyed a “Book Tasting” this week! Students sampled a variety of titles, explored new genres, and discovered stories that sparked their interest. Afterward, they filled out requests for the books they’re most excited to dive into this quarter.

Delta Cross Country welcomed guest speaker Evan Gaynor, professional runner and coach. Evan shared stories from his running career including the time that he ran for Delta, offered practical tips, and took time to answer questions from our athletes.

After the talk, he didn’t just cheer from the sidelines — he laced up and ran a full 5K with the team through the streets of Delta. It was an experience our runners won’t soon forget.

The Sneaky Panther Strikes Again!
A mysterious visitor showed up at practice — The Sneaky Panther — and left behind a giant green box wrapped with care and marked "OPEN THIS SIDE." On top was an encouraging message for our runners, reminding them just how strong and unstoppable they are.

Inside? Pure joy.

Each athlete received a personalized bag filled with fun and inspiring goodies — wild socks that the team loved, stickers, motivational animal tokens, and other surprises (so many we lost count!). The smiles said it all.

Huge thank you to The Sneaky Panther for bringing even more heart and fun to our season. Whoever you are… we see you. 🐾 Let’s keep the momentum, team spirit, and mystery going strong!

It was so great seeing our students walk through the doors this morning—from our littlest Panthers at the elementary to our middle schoolers and high school Panthers!

A big thank you to our amazing PTO for providing the balloons and balloon arch that made the first day extra special!

Tonight, the Pike Delta York Board of Education officially appointed Mr. Doug Ford as our new Superintendent!

Mr. Ford is no stranger to PDY—he’s been part of our Panther family for 17 years and currently serves as our high school principal. He’s also a Delta alum and lifelong member of our community, deeply invested in our schools, our students, and our future.

Over the years, he’s worn many hats and built strong relationships with students, staff, and families, as both a teacher and principal.

“I’m honored by the Board’s decision, grateful for the support of this community, and look forward to continuing to serve our community,” said Mr. Ford.
