Three quick things today. 1. Got my first glimpse (not live, in photo form) of students in class at Wake Downtown. This is Dr. King teaching Organic Chemistry (a tough class, or so I hear.) Great to see Wake Downtown in action! 2. A […]
Happy warm Wednesday, Deac families. We’re close to 60 degrees and sunny today, which certainly makes me feel good. For those of you with younger students at home, today’s Daily Deac is just for you. First up – the Summer Immersion program: “The Wake […]
