Big Brothers Big Sisters Opportunities

Conger Elementary partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters to offer school-based support to our 3rd and 4th grade students! Students are matched with college volunteers from Ohio Wesleyan athletic programs, and these volunteers serve as friends and mentors, and some 3rd graders are able to work with SourcePoint volunteers, often working on many fun activities and projects together! Students meet with their “Big” here at Conger, typically on a weekly basis during lunch and/or recess, and they often continue meeting with them from year-to-year! If you would like to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity, please visit bbbs.tfaforms.net/4841623 and click "school based" to register as soon as possible. Spots are limited and may fill up quickly!

Veterans Day is coming, November 11th.

We know Conger Elementary has a caring and generous community—now is our chance to show it! We are collecting cards from our students, that will be sent to local Veterans to thank them for their service.

The classroom that submits the most thank you cards will get the ultimate reward: the opportunity to color Mr. Eddy's hair any color they want! It's a fun way to add some extra motivation to this important cause.

In addition to the thank you cards, we're inviting you to send in photos of loved ones who are currently serving or have served in the armed forces. These photos will be displayed on a special Honor Wall in our school as a tribute to their bravery and commitment. Let’s fill this wall with pride and gratitude!

Let’s work together to make this Veterans Day one to remember. Submit your cards and photos by November 7th, and let's show our veterans just how much they mean to us!

HUNGER GAMES COLLECTION

November 4th - 18th

Delaware City Schools & Conger are partnering with Delaware County to provide 650 Thanksgiving meals for local families in need.

 Conger's goal is to collect

400 cans of corn!

The Mobile Dentist is Coming

Great News! Conger Elementary has partnered with Smile Programs...the mobile dentist to offer dental care at school.

Best of all, in most cases, there is NO COST to you if your child is insured with Medicaid/ CHIP! Private insurance and affordable self pay options are also available.

Easy & Convenient

Having your child seen by the dentist at school saves you valuable time. Top quality care is provided by local, licensed dentists, in the familiar surroundings of your child's school. Dental care includes a complete exam, x-rays, cleaning, flouride, and sealants when necessary, and in some cases, restorative fillings.

Keep Your Child Healthy

Children who see a dentist regularly may have fewer health issues like early tooth decay, gum disease, heart disease, speech impairment.
