Green Bean Collection

As a District and school we are here to serve our community!

Each Delaware City school will be collecting items to fill Thanksgiving baskets for families in need from Delaware County. Carlisle is collecting canned green beans again this year. With the Covid restrictions we are asking our students to directly drop the beans in the boxes at the doors when they enter the building. Our Online Academy students can drop theirs in the box outside the bus entrance under the Pacer mailbox.

Donations can be brought to school starting

Monday, Nov. 9th thru Friday, Nov. 13th.

If your child is a walker and you meet them by the bike rack, please wait in the designated area. There are "Wait Here" signs to designate areas for walkers. All students (unless exempt), staff, and all parents / guardians must be wearing a mask on school property during arrival, the school day, and dismissal.
