Dogwood Shout Outs! 
 
The Dogwood community is the best!! There are so many people who serve our students, teachers and families so well that we would like to recognize them more publicly throughout the year. If you have a shout out for a student, teacher, parent or administrator any time throughout the year, please email it to Alison Fondaw.

Shout outs and special thanks to:
 
- Kristina Garner, owner of Art and Soul, for leading the #dolphinlife art contest winners in a paint party with Mrs. Price! Kristina helped our Dogwood artists transform a blank canvas into an "Eli Halpin inspired sloth." The students and Mrs.Price all had a great time!

- Mrs. Price for her involvement and willingness to have fun with our students.

- Rosie Naldoza for all of her behind the scenes work. She's a gem!
