Today, we were proud to honor John Mackey, Library Media Specialist at Delaware Ridge Elementary, as the March Bonner Springs/Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce Teacher of the Month!
With a decade of service in USD 204, John has become a cornerstone of his school’s learning community. Through his role as Library Media Specialist, he inspires a love of reading and digital literacy, helping students grow into curious, confident, and capable learners.
John’s leadership extends beyond the library. He is an active Building Leadership Team Member, sponsor of the Braves News Network student news team, and advisor to the Student Ambassadors, a leadership group of fifth graders who model positive citizenship and service.
He seamlessly blends technology, storytelling, and leadership development, empowering students to find their voices and contribute meaningfully to their school community.
John’s energy, creativity, and commitment to student growth make him an invaluable part of Delaware Ridge Elementary. Congratulations, Mr. Mackey!
EDW 4th graders had a guest reader this morning! Superintendent Rick Moulin visited the students and read The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors! He was then challenged by Pedro to a best two out of three!
Join us for an evening of laughter, heart, and all your favorite Peanuts characters brought to life by our talented students.

Our school is very excited to be kicking off our Signature Chocolates Candy Bar Fundraiser! The permission slip will be coming home soon – be sure to check your student’s backpack!
The sale will run from February 6 - 20. This fundraiser is completely voluntary, but we’d love to have your participation as we use the profits for student field trips, classroom celebrations, teacher appreciation, and many other things to support the staff and students of EDW.
We are selling larger $2 bars this year. In addition to being larger, there are new flavors. More details will be coming home soon!
Thanks for your help!
