We have a family within our community that needs our help and support.  A younger sibling of one of our DHS student’s is having to battle cancer for the second time in her short life.  She is a 6th grader at Wells Middle School.

There has already been a financial strain upon the family with various doctors appointments, chemotherapy, etc.  We are asking if you are able to help at all with a donation, please send it to:

There is also going to be a fundraiser happening this Saturday in conjunction with the Freshman Baseball Double-header.  You may want to come out to show support, have some barbeque or participate in the raffle.  Please see the flier at the bottom for more info.
