We have set up Deal Island School's Artsonia site! What is "Artsonia"? We're glad you asked!
"Artsonia
is the world's largest kids' art museum.
Our dream is that every child will have a special art gallery online,
reflecting their masterpieces from pre-school through high-school,
preserved for all time!"
What are you waiting for?
Go visit it now!

On Friday, February 22, 2008 at 2:00, Deal Island School held its annual Black History Month Program.
Mrs. Polk emceed the event which included two very special guests - Mr. Clarence Bell and Judge Gerald V. Purnell.
Mr. Bell gave a spell-binding rendition of an excerpt of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech that
was delivered August 28, 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
Judge Purnell, who has been an Associate Judge for the District Court of Maryland, District 2, Worcester County since January 12, 2006
gave a wonderfully inspiring message about following, and not limiting, your hopes and dreams.
Our students also further enhanced the program with songs and readings.
Thanks to all who planned and participated in this memorable event!
