The King's Christian Academy (KCA) is holding its annual fall Community Carnival and Craft/Vendor Fair on November 4. They are in need of stuffed animals in new and gently used condition to use as prizes. If you have some that are in need of a new home, please bring them to the school's front...

Hi all, If anyone knows of a teacher that is seeking a position for the upcoming school year, I wanted to pass along the news that KCA is hiring. They're located in Callaway in St. Mary's County. Top notch academics and a good, safe environment. The school just updated their careers page if...

Hi all, My chicklet took gymnastics with the St. Mary's County Parks & Recs program a while back. She really liked it and wants to do more, but I've heard a few negative things -- I saw something about the competitive program falling apart recently and several parents have told me about...

Yes, I'm so sorry! KCA stands for The King's Christian Academy. It's located at 20738 Point Lookout Road in Callaway - just past the A&W shopping center on Route 5. Thanks to all who are considering bringing their items tomorrow! The auction itself is on April 29 from 11 - 3 p.m.

I think the registration fees are refundable if you aren't able to get the aid you need. There's definitely lots of financial aid at the school. (Most of the families I know are getting some help.) It might be worth a call to the school. The admissions director is named Barbara Mashtare...I've...

Whoops, my bad. Didn't catch the non-religious part. Well, for what's worth, we're happy there. Not too many independent schools around SOMD, unless you're willing to go up the road a bit. I know a few families who drive up to Calverton, which is K-12, but it has a serious price tag attached.

Both of my kiddos attend The King's Christian Academy (KCA)...they've been there for several years and we've really liked it. It feels safe and I'm impressed with what they're learning. It's is pricey, but most of the parents I've talked to receive some sort of financial aid -- it helps bring...

I was wondering if the dates and locations of the Santa "drive-by" were posted somewhere for the Leonardtown Volunteer Fire Department? Their website doesn't look like it's been updated in a while. I saw Hollywood's dates have been posted on their site, so I was hoping Leonardtown wasn't far...

All great suggestions! We did the camps at The King's Christian Academy earlier in the summer and my kids came home happy and tired every day...awesome combo. I did end up tucking them in a spare office for a couple of mornings this week, but today I sent them to the Yellow Door Art Studio in...

I ended up going to S-Kape today in Leonardtown -- thanks to LittleBit's suggestion. Though Cindy wasn't available, I had a great experience with a gal named TJ. I looked at S-Kape's Facebook page last night and absolutely loved the styles that TJ had done. And she was awesome in person, too. My...
