Thanks to all of the dedicated leaders from throughout Wicomico County Public Schools who committed their Thursday to taking part in the School Safety Summit, held at James M. Bennett High. The summit was put on by the Department of School Climate and Safety,, and was led by Tara O'Barsky, Director of School Climate & Safety, and members of her team.

The day's focus was on the first of Superintendent of Schools Dr. Micah Stauffer's strategic priorities: School Climate & Safety. Participants learned more about:

Physical Safety Layers (Preparing a Safe Physical Environment)
Setting the Foundation for Psychological Safety (Building a Strong Social Environment)
Tiered Response to Psychological Safety (Ensuring a Strong Attentive Environment)

Our schools and school system are preparing for a great 2025-2026 school year with safe learning environments that support learning, student achievement and engagement, a high-performing workforce, and ample opportunity for family and community engagement.

FUN IN THE SUN was a huge hit despite the rain. Thank you to our amazing PBIS Team, under the leadership of Mrs. Lohr and Mrs. Patton, for all of their hard work in making our PBIS Fun in the Sun day such a great event. The rain did not stop the sunshine at this event ! Although it was moved inside, our students had a blast celebrating the end to a great school year and their excellent behavior all year.

Two of our Mardela students won a county-wide Art Contest that was part of the Children's Mental Health Matters Community Family Event on May 9th. Eleven of Mrs. Bergquist's students entered the contest, along with hundreds of other students across Wicomico County. There were a select few chosen as winners, and two were from our school: A first place prize was awarded to Aubrey Cockey, and a 2nd place prize was awarded to Blair Ennis! Congratulations to all our artists for sharing their artwork and to our winning artists! "Art is to console those who are broken by life." – Vincent Van Gogh
