Back in the Dash!

I am back in the Dash – aka Winston-Salem – and in the week I was gone, Mother Nature has been hard at work. Everything is in full bloom and absolutely gorgeous, though it is colder today than it should be (around 55 degrees). It […]


College Parent/Family Member Roles

I am on Spring Break this week with my high school junior, so this is a pre-post. Because we have a lot of new P’26 incoming families just starting their WFU journey with us, today we will focus on how to think about the roles […]


Finding a Mentor

After a sabbatical year, during which […]


Meet A Deac
