CancerWalk fundraising!
Hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing spring break! Now that we are back, fundraising for the CancerWalk is in full swing! We are brainstorming ways to raise money for the VanAndel Institute, and will be raising funds through May 15th. There is a link this year for donations on the homepage of the school's website, and here is the link to the online donations as well: http://www.calschools.org/duncan-lake-ms/enrichment/cancer-walk/.
There is also a new Book Blog post this week about whether or not you prefer paper or electronic books!
