It’s a new week, Deac families. Let’s get after it! Am hearing anecdotal reports of a lot of winter illness. This is something that tends to happen every winter, when students are all back in close quarters and there are germs floating around. Good reminder […]
Happy Friday, Deac families! Hope you are gearing up for a great and restful weekend! Yesterday I saw a post on the WFU Counseling Center’s Facebook page. It is an article talking about the culture shock of coming back from a semester abroad, and […]
