After toiling over the computer to create and then recreate each picture album, they have finally been updated with a more user-friendly viewing environment as well as a download/print pop-up box for each photo. Check it out!

Sorry for the delayed update, as I lost all of the newly created data just before it was completed and had to regenerate everything.

Throughout December, Brown Deer DECA members were engaged in a service project in conjunction with the Milwuakee Rescue Mission. Brown Deer DECA "adopted" four needy Milwaukee area families for Christmas. From December 1-17, the three marketing classes raised over $550 to buy Christmas presents for all members of the four families. In addition, DECA members collected over 500 food items, four Christmas trees, lights, ornaments, and four turkeys. On Saturday, December 20th, the students made deliveries to each of the four families. This project was an enormous success, much of it attributed to the hard work of Tanja Lazarevic, Ann Phelps, Amanda Mattefs, Katie Kumprey, and Ayla Odya-Weis.
