Today, May 4, we are proudly celebrating Mrs. Hastings for National Principal Appreciation Day! Although the official day was May 1, Mrs. Hastings was representing all principals from Wicomico County at the State Department—talk about leadership beyond our walls!
We’re grateful for her dedication, advocacy, and commitment to our students, staff, and community. Mardela is lucky to have a principal who leads with heart and purpose every single day. 💚💛🏫
Thank you, Mrs. Hastings, and congratulations on this well‑deserved recognition!

Over the past eight weeks, students in Ms. Dorman’s 7th grade ELA classes have been immersed in a Book Buddy novel study. On Friday, April 10, we hosted our culminating Gallery Walk. It was a joy to see families, staff members, and fellow students walk through and engage with the hard work displayed on every board. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our students and celebrate the power of reading! 📚✨
Today the staff of Wicomico County Public Schools is dressing casual to support the fund-raising of these four adventurers. The money raised by Over the Edge for ALICE, through the United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore, goes to help families in our community who are ALICE: Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed. Many ALICE families include children in our classroom, and Wicomico Schools is stepping up (and going Over the Edge) to support them. Ours is the first school system in the area to take on this challenge.
Staff members can join this ALICE effort with their casual day donation today and in other ways that we will share soon. And anyone can make a donation to be divided among the four Ross descenders: https://givebutter.com/OTE2026/wicomico-county-public-schools.
(Individual donation links will be shared in the near future. Anyone donating $25 or more to one of our team members through the donation site will have their name added to the adventure suit so they can be part of the descent on May 8th!)
