A Word from You Administrators
Dear Deep Run Families,
On Wednesday of last week, we celebrated our incredible front office team for Administrative Professionals Day! Thank you Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Vissari, Ms. Morgan and Ms. Vaugn for helping our school run smoothly every day! Your kindness and care represent the best of Deep Run Elementary School!
We are busy at DRES and there's lots going on. Here are a few highlights:
- We recently recognized our Kindergarten students for winning the March attendance incentive. We saw an increase in attendance across the school!
- Battle of the Books on Friday allowed a number of DRES students showcase their reading skills by answering a number of questions about the books they read. Thank you to the parent coaches for sponsoring these creative students.
- If you are in our building you will notice that a mural is being painted on the wall. This is part of an artist in residence program in which 5th graders play a role in creating and then painting this masterpiece.
We hope you have a lovely week!!
Kindly,
Nigel La Roche Jerome Pickens Colleen Golden
Principal Assistant Principal Assistant Principal
