A big hurray for the City of Dunwoody! Now if only the Dekalb County School Services remembered what their purpose was: to work for a brighter future of our children and provide them with the tools to reach that.
Thanks so much for the support!!!
Let's hope some common sense prevails with DCSS.
Lacrosse was approved by the DCSS.
