Denver Place welcomes animal visitors
Betty Ross from the Glen Helen Raptor Center was a special guest in Ashley Johnson’s classroom at Denver Place Elementary School.
Mrs. Ross brought three birds to visit the class as a part of their animal science study – an American Kestrel Falcon, a Red Tailed Hawk and a Barred Owl.
The visit was made possible because a student in the class – Avery Greenlees – adopted a bald eagle from Glen Helen.

Early Kindergarten an Option for Some Students
Do you think your child might be ready to enter Kindergarten early?
In most cases, a student must be age 5 on or before September 30 to enter the Wilmington City Schools' Kindergarten program. However, students who show a high potential for academic success can be granted early admission into the program before meeting the age requirement, provided he or she meets certain criteria.
If you think your child might qualify, contact Director of Pupil Services Teresa Gillespie at 382-1641.
