For the last 31 years Anthony and Jackie Johnson, owners of Lauren's Garden in DeWitt, along with their family and employees, have been quietly providing balloon and candy bags on Valentine’s Day. These gifts are for children at DES who may not otherwise receive a Valentine's Day delivery. This year alone, they provided over 200 balloons and candy bags! We wholeheartedly thank them for this wonderful gift of service and love to our school community.
Reminder: There will be NO running club today after school. We will resume next week.
