Journey School Picture Program--goes home on Wednesday
In next Wednesday's folders, parents will be receiving a special package of portraits from our photography partner Strawbridge Studios. They have designed a program called "Journey." If your child attended Deep Run last year, you may remember receiving the Journey package. Journey is a multi-year product that a majority of students in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th geades will be receiving. All other students should receive a Fun Variety Pack if they had fall pictures taken this year. This could be the perfect gift to purchase for family and friends. This is also an additional fundraiser for the school, so please keep this in mind when placing your order. Thank you for your support.
When the pictures go home, please review them and decide which sheets you want to purchase. Keep the ones you want and return the other photos with a check (for the sheets purchased) made out to Strawbridge Studios to school before Spring Break.

International Night--Families Needed
International Night is April 20 from 6:00-8:00 PM at Deep Run. The event is richer, more informative, and better the more families we have sign up to bring food, perform in the showcase, set up a table display or bring a culturally significant game. If you are able to participate in any of those please complete the form and have your child deliver it to their homeroom teacher.
Deep Run Learning Together Program
The Deep Run Regional Early Childhood Center (RECC) toddler and preschool programs are making preparations for classes for the 2018-19 school year. These classes include children with and without disabilities. The program’s focus is helping all children develop communication, literacy, math, problem solving, motor, and social skills. Parents of children who will be 3 by September 1st or 4 years of age may pick up an application package in the front office.
All applications must be returned by the last Friday in March. A limited number of openings are available for children without disabilities. Children are selected based upon screening information given on the application form and the “Ages and Stages Questionnaire,” as well as observations of the child’s participation in a playgroup. If necessary, a lottery process is conducted.
If you have any questions, please contact Ruth Gibson at (410) 313-5000.
