Deep Creek Middle School
It was an honor to toast all the dedicated members of the community and share stories from points along our 15-year journey. Four of the past principals were present along with strong alumni and parent representation to cheer on the great work that continues.
Afterschool Outreach
Throughout the school year, regular outreach programs are offered to the children of Deep Creek. These efforts are tracked both in terms of the number of community members who participate and the number of volunteer staff hours.
• Deep Creek Swim Club: The participants served by this program often come from a family of non-swimmers. Creating a comfortable and safe environment is our priority to encourage the learning of this life-long and transferable skill. This program meets bi-weekly and has served 31 community participants and accumulated 51 staff volunteer hours. • Deep Creek Primary School Garden Project: This program meets bi-weekly, but is punctuated by special events drawing the greater CEIS community en masse for a significant larger objective. Since September, this program has served 26 community participants and accrued 23 staff volunteer-hours.
• The Open Learning Center (OLC): The OLC has serves a group of approximately 8 community children of various ages supporting literacy, numeracy and homework completion. This center is available twice a week and has accumulated 58 student hours since September.
