Outreach to Support Retention of New Teachers
Many supplies were donated by Kappa members at the September kick-off to the new school year.
The school supplies were distributed to 8 new teachers at Albemarle Road Elementary.
5 are returning for a second year, and 3 entering their first year of teaching.
It is very exciting to be part of making their start as positive and supported as possible.
Other projects and support opportunities will be held throughout the school year.
Last year the provision of supplies, meals, gift cards, and holiday celebration items were happily received and appreciated by the new teachers being sponsored at Albemarle Road Elementary.

MYSTERY BAG FUNdraiser
RULED A SUCCESS!
The Mystery Bags were not only a very successful fundraiser, but a lot of fun! There was a lot of serious blind bidding, and everyone was thrilled with what they received. The contents were worth much more than the starting minimum bids. A lot of nice items showed up in the bags ranging from hand thrown pottery to edibles to artwork to beauty products to books. In fact, many of the sisters went home with more than one! The outcomes were so positive, the Board chose to do it again next year! So start planning your theme and selecting mystery items for your contribution.

KAPPA WINS BIG @ ETA STATE 2018
Kappa walked away from the annual DKG Eta State Convention with three certificates in hand for all that YOU have contributed to and participated in throughout the 2017-2018 school year. Once again, Kappa was honored for
Website Excellence & Newsletter Excellence Awards.
Kappa was honored again with the
Chapter Achievement Award of Excellence.
What proud accomplishments for our chapter!
As we move into the new year, keep in mind that your participation both in Kappa meetings and in your own outreaches count. Attendance to meetings, making donations to the various efforts (both monetary and tangible), volunteering for state committees, applying for scholarships within the chapter, the state, and international layers of the society add points to our chapter's standing within DKG. Additionally, all that you do to volunteer in all areas of your life count towards Kappa as well. The chapter forms are available on the archives page for scholarships and volunteer tracking, while the state and national forms are located on those sites under the forms tabs. Remember our mission is to promote professional and personal growth so that as key women educators we can achieve Excellence. Congratulations Kappa!

Kappa's 2018 World Fellowship Meeting
Betsy Gascamp a host family recruiter for ICES- International Cultural Exchange Services shared information about the program and her experiences. The showstopper was when a current exchange student shared her experiences to date and the positive impact the program was having on her life. Many stood in line to talk with these two ladies at the closing of the meeting. It was inspiring, possibly motivating to get involved in hosting future students. World Fellowship Donations were collected. Several of the new teachers being sponsored by Kappa joined us for the presentation and dinner. Dinners were donated by various members in support of the New Teacher Outreach. While dining on the good food at Jimmie's Restaurant, the best part was the the time of fellowship and connection with each other. Mark your calendar's now to join us at the next World Fellowship in February 2019 |
