THE "PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS" WITH MORGAN STANLEY
ON DECEMBER 22, 2006 MR. CRAIG NORTON OF THE MORGAN STANLEY BROKERAGE FIRM TREATED OUR STUDENTS TO THE NEW WILL SMITH MOVIE, "THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNES" FOLLOWED BY LUNCH AT CHAMPS. THE STUDENTS LEARNED SOME VERY VALUABLE LESSONS FROM THE MOVIE, AS IT WAS A TALE OF ULTIMATE SURVIVAL IN THE MIDST OF HARDSHIPS. THE MOVIE WAS FILLED WITH LIFE LESSONS FOR ALL TO SEE. THE LUNCH AT CHAMPS WAS ANOTHER HIGH-LIGHT OF THE DAY. THE STUDENTS ENJOYED THE FOOD, THE CAMARADERIE, AND THE LIFE LESSONS OFFERED BY REPRESENTATIVES OF MORGAN STANLEY. THE STAFF AND STUDENTS OF THE DEAN'S ACADEMY WOULD LIKE TO THANK FROM THE BOTTOMS OF OUR HEARTS MR. CRAIG NORTON AND MR.

THIS YEAR, WE HAD A CONCERT TO MARK THE OCCASION, WITH SPECIAL GUEST STAR MISS DONNA CUTLER, SINGER AND ELECTRIC GUITARIST EXTRAORDINAIRE! SHE SANG LIVE: ROCK AND ROLL, POP, BLUES AND CHRISTMAS CAROLS ALONG WITH TWO SELF PENNED TUNES THAT WENT OVER WITH THE STUDENTS REALLY WELL.
