Support staff donates to animal shelters

The Delaware Valley School District Support Staff has embarked on a new project aimed at helping local animal shelters, while honoring the memory of an animal-loving former member of the staff.

The newest DV Support Staff project, appropriately named Pat’s Pet Passion, began in the spring of 2009 and was in memory of Pat Gelderman, an instructional assistant and longtime employee of the district. Mrs. Gelderman, who passed away, had a passion for animals and dedicated almost every spare minute to helping the local animal shelters.

Pat’s son, George Gelderman, is pictured above with the donations that are about to be delivered to our local animal shelters. George Gelderman is a teacher at Delaware Valley High School.

DV’s Education Support Professionals have carried out many projects for the past several years. They are comprised of consisting of bus/van drivers, bus assistants, cafeteria workers, custodians, instructional assistants, licensed health room nurses, maintenance staff, secretaries, and traffic control officers. They are excited about their expanded mission, aimed at helping local animal shelters.

Donations were delivered to our local animal shelters on June 12, 2009, which was Delaware Valley’s last day of school.
