🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE, BULLDOG FAM! 🚨

The power in our district buildings is currently going in and out, which means all district phone lines are also going in and out. 📵

Here is what you need to know:
🚌 School dismissals will be at their NORMAL TIME today.

We couldn't pick just one winner for April's BARK Trophy... because TWO classrooms absolutely crushed it! 🏆🏆 A huge congratulations to Mrs. George’s class and Mrs. Held’s class for tying for this month's honors! 🐾

Both classes have been shining examples of what it means to be a Defiance Bulldog—showing respect, responsibility, and amazing leadership every single day. They even teamed up for a giant combo photo to celebrate! 🤝
