It’s Official

sgum — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:23:40 +0000

On November 21, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), previously known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, officially named Delmarva Christian High School as a I-17 school authorizing DCHS to issue I-20 visas to international students. Private schools like DCHS may issue I-20 visas only if the school is nationally accredited by an accrediting body. The Petition for Approval of School for Attendance by Non-Immigrant Students was filed early in the year and approval has been received. Foreign exchange students may now seek enrollment to DCHS.

Messages for Mrs. Ridley

John Sadler — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:54:46 +0000

As I read Proverbs 31 and think of Kelley I feel inadequate to even provide this little introduction. The students here and especially the young ladies have a great role model as we see her walk with the Lord in the good times and the times of sorrow she faces even now. I hope the students will see her witness of faith truly in action and the sincerity of faith she demonstrates.

The following is provided for your information in regard to the visitation and funeral for Mrs. Ridley’s husband, Jason.

Swamp Stomp Sept 11

sgum — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:15:35 +0000

The Delaware Swamp Stomp is one of the best events to hit our area. This event was created to provide a “vehicle of support” for great causes in our COUNTRY AND COMMUNITY. The sole purpose is to provide a fun tool for people to show appreciation by giving back. This year the Swamp Stomp is proud to partner with two organizations who are truly making a difference in our community and country. All proceeds from the 2011 Delaware Swamp Stomp will be divided between these two outstanding causes; the Delaware Community Appreciation Group and Delmarva Christian High School.

What is the Swamp Stomp?

The Stomp consists of a 5K mud run full of obstacles and cool challenges. This event is a fun run based on a team concept. Teams of four will take on the Stomp with one goal…finish together. The entire principal of this event is “OVERCOMING OBSTACLES!” However, there is an individual class for those willing to take on the Stomp solo.

What do the organizers know about mud?

The Stomp will take place at the Home of the Gumboro Mud Bog. According to the organizers, “Making mud is not just mixing water and dirt…it’s artwork.” These “Masters of Mud” have designed a course that is not only muddy but a ton of FUN.
