This month we would like to highlight one of our amazing Parish Day School teachers, Mrs. DeLasAlas. We are thankful for the love and care she pours into her classroom each day. Ms. D has been part of Parish Day School for the past 9 years. We love watching Ms. D in action, working on science experiments, or process art projects, and inspiring her little learners. She works hard along with our Pre-K team to prepare our students for Kindergarten.

We moved to Key West, Florida and I was a stay-at-home mom. My youngest son started preschool and I started volunteering. His teacher transferred and recommended me to take her position.
