FROM THE DIRECTOR CHAIR - Rhonda Taylor & Katie Chappell
What most excited you about the performance?Seeing the progress the students made in their acting skills and watching them really start to relax and enjoy themselves.What was your greatest obstacle?Learning lines. Most of our young actors and actresses have little or no experience on stage and getting the lines down was a challenge! It was also difficult working around all of the people who we were sharing the stage space. We are very grateful for everyone's flexibility!What drew you to the play you chose?We actually had another play chosen, but we did not anticipate how many new students would be joining us. Our club has grown from 8 to 25 in just a year! We chose 'Once Upon a Time' because it had a humorous twist on familiar fairy tales, had plenty of opportunities for students of various abilities, and had a flexible cast large enough to accommodate the interest we had.What's next for the Drama Club?Drama Club will continue to meet after the New Year weekly where we will work continue to work on our acting skills. We hope to continue to partner with the High School in future productions and are hopeful to perform another play this spring. -

Delmarva Christian Announces "One Campus" Future
Read MoreDelmarva Christian Schools, a leading institution in Christ-centered education since 2004, is excited to announce a significant development to better serve a growing student population and educational mission.The school has experienced continuous growth in enrollment, necessitating the opening of a new campus in 2013 and expansion in 2014. However, due to increasing demand for Christian education and the area's population growth, DCS has once again outgrown its existing facilities.To address this need, Delmarva Christian Schools is launching a $30 million capital campaign. The campaign's primary objective is to fund the construction of a 73,000 square-foot Upper School facility, a 13,000 square-foot Early Learning Center Facility, and renovations to the existing high school facility to accommodate elementary grades. This transformation will enable DCS to serve up to 1,000 students.Operating two campuses for infants through grade 12 for several years, consolidating operations in Georgetown will enhance efficiency and the school's ability to cultivate a unified culture. The move will also facilitate enhanced student and faculty discipleship, improve safety and security measures, and establish a strong foundation for future growth. The new facility represents a significant enhancement in the academic and cultural experience for all students. The school has enlisted the architectural services of Building God's Way (BGW) and Richard Y. Johnson & Son, Inc (RYJ) will serve as the project's construction manager.
"The design currently being created through the collaborative efforts of our DCS team, our architect BGW, and RYJ Construction, has state of the art learning environments including well equipped middle and high school science labs. In addition, the new auditorium, music/band spaces, secondary gymnasium, and industrial arts building will increase our athletic and arts opportunities," DCS Head of School, Matt Kwiatkowski. "This new 90,000 square foot building will bolster our mission, vision, and core values by removing the longstanding resource restrictions and open new doors for our students to continue exploring their God-given gifts, talents, and passions."
Delmarva Christian Schools remains dedicated to its mission, preparing students spiritually, academically, and physically to know and do God’s will in their lives.

As we focus on this building project, it has become obvious that we are to hold-fast to the past, to be present in the current, and continue building for the future. Jesus has shown His providential and sovereign nature through special milestones in our first 20 years, and so, we hold onto them as rocks of remembrance of who He is and what He can do. We, along with our many community members, are simply seeking to be good stewards of what He has given us so that these next generations can share Jesus' truth in love, no matter their next steps post graduation."
