KINGSFORD — Two boxes of school supplies were delivered to Woodland Elementary School second grade teacher, Michelle Phelps on Tuesday.

The supplies were donated by members of Delta Kappa Gamma Beta Sigma Chapter, as one of the projects which shows support to area educators. Woodland Elementary, and specifically Phelps, was selected randomly to receive Beta Sigma’s support.

The Beta Sigma Chapter includes members from Michigan’s Dickinson, Delta and Menominee Counties and Wisconsin’s Oconto, Marinette, and Florence counties. Two more schools in adjacent areas will also be selected to receive supplies.

Phelps is a 1999 graduate of Iron Mountain High School and a 2003 graduate of Northern Michigan University, majoring in elementary education.

She assisted as a teacher’s aide at East Elementary and North Elementary in Iron Mountain and previously taught at Bishop Baraga before being hired at Woodland.

Delta Kappa Gamma is an honorary international organization of key women educators that promotes professional and personal growth of women and excellence in education.

Beta Sigma Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma makes a difference in the community by awarding scholarships to high school girls entering college to become teachers, recognizing community businesses that are Friends of Education, volunteering in and supporting the local schools and community, and staying up to date on educational issues.

Being an international organization, Delta Kappa Gamma members also support Schools for Africa and the World Fellowship Program.

Through the World Fellowship Program, DKG has awarded scholarships to women from countries around the world to study in the United States and Canada.
