Preview of Coming Attractions?

Some of our Deac parents and families have already seen snow this season.  We’ve got none of it in the forecast, but if you want a glimpse of what life looks like on those occasions where we do have snow, a few pics are below. […]


Last Week of Classes

And the grey, drizzle has not really let up.  We need some relief and some sunshine to brighten up what is already a stressful week (last week of classes). Hopefully all our parents and families remembered that tuition was due yesterday, December 1st.  If not, […]
