Our staff had a blast celebrating another State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC) Dress Up Fundraiser.
From spooky to clever, our staff brought their Halloween best. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who participated in this fun event for a great cause!
October is Bully Awareness Month. The Delaware School Safety Center at DEMA stands with schools, families, and communities to promote kindness, inclusion, and support.
Every student deserves to feel safe and valued. Together, we can make schools brighter.

A potent cold front arrives later Friday. Some severe thunderstorms with damaging winds are possible later in the afternoon and evening. The main wind risk with thunderstorms may be in the form of a narrow squall line. It turns much colder Friday night. #pawx#njwx#dewx#mdwx
