You may have seen us out last week rewarding the kiddos from the Dunbar Primary and Dunbar Intermediate schools for completing another school year. This is always one of our favorite events to participate in, and by the reaction from the kids, it’s definitely their favorite event as well. We hope everyone had a great time!!
