For those of you who haven't done so, please consider making donations to our store. New and gently used kid-friendly items are welcomed. Items may be given to Mrs. Kelly in the office or to Mrs. Moore in the Media Center. Here is a link to our Amazon Wish List for those who would like to make purchases that way: https://a.co/3HSlIm2 We're always accepting donations for the Dragon Dollar store.
