Consider joining our Dealey Facebook Groups to stay updated, share ideas, staying connected in our community!
George Bannerman Dealey Montessori Academy - This is a group that was made to connect with people that went to George Bannerman Dealey Montesorri Academy from 1995-2005
Dealey Uniform Swap and Sell FB Group - Many of us have uniforms, soccer gear, school supplies, etc to sell. Ideas include: uniforms shirts; uniform pants/shorts; Dealey wear; jackets, sweaters and coats; school supplies such as binders, pencil packs, paper, backpacks; soccer cleats, uniforms, shorts, etc.. Sell items at "GARAGE SALE" prices. Thought we'd try a group where we can safely sell amongst each other and deliver at school or arrange for pickup. Please only add Dealey families to keep it all safe.
