Please Donate!

Do you have a walking boot, crutches, or braces lying around and have no use for them anymore? If so, we would love to have them to use for our athletes here at Dover-Eyota High School when they get injured. Any medical items you feel could be put to good use in the athletic training room please donate them! You can drop them off with Shauna in the athletic training room or with Mr. Andring.  Thanks so much for thinking of us.
