Members of the Daleville Senior Center released around 30 balloons on Wednesday, Oct. 24, to remember those fighting, who have survived or who have lost a battle with breast cancer. Before the release, Senior Center Director Laura Leger provided senior center members with statistics and information about breast cancer. Leger told senior center members that breast cancer accounts for around 16 percent of cancers in women worldwide, and it is the second-most common cancer in the United States. She said there are currently more than 2.9 million women in the United States battling breast cancer. She also said that men can be affected by breast cancer as well. "It's very important that if you have anyone in your family that has had cancer of any time, you need to make sure that you're going and getting checked. It's very, very important," Leger said.

Club STEAM Powered introduces students to various subjects in science, technology, engineering, art and math.

During its recent meeting, students built rockets and tested designs for creations that would protect an egg from a fall.

The students used various materials to not only build and decorate their rockets, but also to create cases for eggs to protect them from a drop. Some of the materials used included plastic eggs, balloons and beans.

The new playground, paid for by PTO fundraising and a Pre-K grant, was ready for students on the first day of school.

The playgrounds at Culpepper Park have re-opened after surfacing and equipment repairs were completed. The playgrounds now have pour-in-place rubber surfacing under equipment and around the playground area, and the equipment has been repaired.
