For our P’25s in the Daily Deacdom, you will notice that as the summer progresses, we have lots of messages for your students. Today a message went out about the Foreign Language Placement Test, as well as more information about Project Wake. You can catch up on messages your ’25s received here.
For our basketball lovers out there, we have two Deac greats squaring off against each other in the NBA finals: Chris Paul and Jeff Teague. Chris had a whopping 32 points lastnight; see highlights. No matter which team ultimately wins, a Deac will win a championship, and that is something to celebrate.
Yesterday I shared a blog post about our various art collections, and an astute reader reminded me that I forgot to mention the granddaddy of all collections: Reynolda House! Definitely my bad!
Reynolda House Museum of American Art has an incredible collection of American art. You can search those collections online, or see current and past exhibitions. Reynolda House is really a triple threat: not only does it have amazing art, but it is also a historic home with period furnishing and clothes, as well as an outstanding garden and grounds. For your Deacs, admissions is free with their Wake ID, and as you will see in the pictures below, sometimes classes visit there. For parents and families, I highly recommend a visit to Reynolda House when you are in town. The museum is meant for self-touring, and it’s a delightful way to spend a morning or afternoon (check out the picture of the feet of the sofa with the lions on it!) Top off your Reynolda House visit with a stroll around Reynolda Village, which has terrific shops and eateries (my love of May Way Dumplings has been well established in the Daily Deac!)
