As you can see from this article in the May 21, 2026 edition of the Pecatonica Valley Leader, I am relocating to be with family, and the Academy is closing its doors. We have loved working with all our wonderful students. The good news is that the Argyle Public Library plans to make good use of the Academy’s furnishings and teaching materials in the future going forward! Thank you, DRA board members, donors, and families for all your wonderful support over the last few years.

With gratitude, Lynn
