Honouring Deanna Dick

As a part of the Alumni Reception, we would like to honour our beloved sewing teacher Deanna Dick, who is retiring from teaching this year. Deanna and her sewing classes have been heavily involved in costume prep over the years, so this is an opportunity to thank her for her work in the lives of MEI students, and for her contributions to Spring productions. » RSVP required for free reception.

Deanna Dick with MEI students | Costume Creation
Deanna Dick has been involved in costume prep since 1990, beginning by making just one costume for "The Wizard of Oz" as a volunteer. Deanna became staff in 1995, and from 1996-2004 (while Gail Harder was in charge of costume), Deanna helped. She remembers this as a great opportunity to learn, and to "get her feet wet". From 2004 to present, Deanna has taken the lead of costume design.
