Deep Creek, The Bahamas
- Deep Creek
Middle School (DCMS) will host a series of events in honor of the school’s ten
year anniversary. The students, teachers, and parents have countless
achievements to celebrate. Earlier this year, the school received international
recognition as the only Green Flag eco-friendly school in The Bahamas and
Caribbean. DCMS students also attained a 94% pass rate on the National Bahamas
Junior Certificate Exams, which is the third year in a row that they have
achieved the highest pass rate in the history of the school.
“We are throwing a three-day party with a
series of events to celebrate this milestone in the school’s history. We want
to thank the alumni, students, parents and community supporters for their
partnerships with us over the years, and we want to open up our doors for
others to learn about the school,” said Principal Dr. Joanna Paul.
On Thursday, February 17th,
the festivities kick-off at 5:00 p.m. with student presentations about unique
social and environmental projects in the community.
On Friday, February 18th, the
community is invited to dust off those dancing shoes and dress to impress for
the annual Black and White Ball hosted at Ingraham’s Beach Inn in Tarpum Bay.
The gala M.C. will be comedian Ms. P. from Nassau and will feature live
entertainment from the Rum Runners. Tickets are $50 per person and include
buffet dinner, cash bar, numerous door prizes, and auction items. Tickets can
be purchased at Deep Creek Middle School and Dingles Motors in Rock Sound.
On Saturday, February 19th at
9:00 a.m. the celebration continues with a walkathon and road race competition
from Cape Eleuthera to Deep Creek. Participants will receive a blue STREET FAIR
t-shirt with every $20 registration. Souse will be available for sale at the
end.
On Saturday, February 19th, beginning
at 9:00 a.m. DCMS will host a homecoming on the park called STREET FAIR sponsored
in part by the Ministry of Tourism. The all day event will feature food,
drinks, surprise live entertainment, craft vendors, and a lionfish cook off.
“STREET FAIR 2009 was a smashing success
and thanks to the planning of the Deep Creek Middle School and Island School
students, we are confident that this year’s STREET FAIR will be just the same! We
anticipate over five hundred domestic and international visitors to flock to
Eleuthera to show their support of the Deep Creek Middle School,” said
Assistant Principal Ms. Kate McAlaine.
