Educational Excellence Committee
One of EEC’s goals is to support all educators and to support children.
Theta has chosen to support Beginning Teachers. The BT Team, headed by Sylvia Quinn, is working with teachers at Virgo and Williston. Members have already delivered Snack Bags and containers of School Supplies to BTs at both schools. At the October meeting, the team collected donations of money to be used to buy cleaning supplies in bulk. These will be delivered to the teachers in November. At the January meeting we will be collecting school supplies which will be delivered to the BTs in February (Valentine theme for packaging). At our March meeting we will be collecting items for “Teacher Appreciation” bags to be delivered in May. For this bag we would like to incorporate some of their favorites from their WISH LIST. You will be receiving updates on these lists from time to time. Please note that there is time between our meeting and delivering supplies. If you cannot get your items to a meeting, you may drop them off at Judy’s house (5126 Oriole Dr) during this time.
Theta will support some of our most vulnerable children, those in Foster Care, by supporting the Foster Pantry again this year. For our November meeting, our project will be twofold. We will collect Diapers (Preemie, Newborn and Size 5) and Baby Wipes as we did last year. This Agency also supplies a Holiday Box for each foster family. Since teenagers are often overlooked at Christmas, we voted to collect $10 gift cards that teens would use. (Places like fast food, Walmart, Target, etc.)
Our committee recognizes that everyone’s situation is different. These projects are simply opportunities for you to give, if you wish and as you are able.

Reaching Out

Susie Miller, Chair
As we enter a new biennium, "Linking the Past, Present and Future," let's make plans to reach out to former members who have decided to resign their DKG membership. Perhaps their reason for leaving has changed. In the seasons of life, things may transition; let these educators know they are always welcome. Let's strive to build and revive chapter membership in the new biennium by extending an invitation to past members. Invite them to attend a chapter meeting, include them in chapter events and projects, and keep them on your list to reinstate. As the new biennium begins, I hope all DKG members, past and present, will remember the important, me 
Tech Tips
- If you are an iPhone user, open Settings>Display & Brightness>Text Size. All you have to do is drag the slider to increase the text size to a setting that works best for you. You can also use the VoiceOver feature and have content read out loud to you. This setting, as well as Zoom and Magnifier Tools, can be found under Settings>General>Accessibility.
- Android phones have similar settings. To increase your phone’s font size, go to Settings>Display>Font Size. Adjust your font size to your liking by selecting small, normal, large, or huge. However, the sizing will vary, depending on the phone you have.
