Welcome back to a new year with Delta Kappa Gamma! As you know, we have our yearbook underway. Programs are set, and we are ready for a couple of items:
1) Building up the membership of Nu Alpha by inviting interested educators to join us.
2) Helping continue our “Adopt-a-Teacher” project.
3) Staying informed so you can respond to any need to serve.
The theme for this year is “Dare to Dream.” So, let’s see if we can make 2026-2027 a banner year for Nu Alpha.
Aspire to create positive change through collaboration, service, and leadership opportunities.
Cultivate growth of members and chapters.
Thrive together by fostering a sense of belonging and celebrating success.
Dianna Simons and Dr. Dianne Hess recieve the Project Stipend Award
Nu Alpha Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma expanded their Leander ISD Adopt-a-Teacher project this year with the help of an ASTEF stipend of $1000. With an additional $682.23 from chapter funds, Nu Alpha was able to give each of the 17 new-to-profession teachers approximately $100 worth of items from their Amazon wish lists. Members of the special project committee, Dr. Dianne Hess and Dianna Simons, ordered and received the items. They, along with member Lisa Thorne, delivered the items to the teachers in their classrooms in September and October. The chapter gifted teachers from 9 elementary schools (two of those being Title 1 schools), 3 middle schools, and 2 high school in Leander ISD. Grades/subjects taught ranged from PreK, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 7th grade, dual language, special education, and high school AP.
