We’d like to congratulate Miss Lilly on her promotion to Substitute Teacher in the Teacher Training Program!

Miss Lilly has been a student at DC for 7 years! Now in the 11th grade, Lilly is not only a fantastic dancer, but is also the Vice President of her class, and a member of the East Islip High School Kickline.
Miss Lilly competed for 3 years with the Dance Connection Performance Company, and continues to study Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, an Contemporary styles of Dance, as well as being a member of our Recital Company and performing in our Step Into Christmas benefit show. I asked what her reaction was when she found out about being promoted to Substitute Teacher.
“I was surprised and so excited! I really looked forward to being in a classroom full of students on my own. I’m hoping to keep moving up to become a teacher on our staff, which will definitely help prepare me for my college studies. I’ll be studying Elementary Education. “, Lilly Scholl, Substitute Teacher.
Miss Lilly’s promotion was happy news to deliver as well according to Miss Mary.
