Dear Didion Families,
We have one week left to reach our Dragon Dash goal! Right now we are close to an amazing $25,000! But we still have a way to go to get to our goal, so please keep collecting those donations! Remember, the Dragon Dash is the Genevieve Didion PTA’s largest annual fundraiser that directly funds school enrichment in many areas including music & art classes, field trips, community events, reading & literacy programs, middle school promotion, and more!
