PTA Updates for April 10th
THE RUN-A-THON FUNDRAISING IS STILL GOING!
 Let’s go, Dragons! As of Tuesday, we are a little over a thousand dollars away from our goal! If we raise the full $20,000, then the Dranesville administration staff will dress up in inflatable costumes for a day! We know the kiddos want to see that happen! And remember that the class in each grade that raises the most money will earn a pizza party!
