★ ★ ★ DVA Wish List ★ ★ ★

  • Kleenex tissues are still running low! Please consider buying a few boxes to donate the next time you go to the store.

  • Life Science Animal Supplies Wish List - having an interactive classroom full of live animals is not a cheap endeavor and many supplies are purchased by Ms. Atwill herself. Any donation would be helpful.

  • Bottled waters - with no nearby water fountains on the hallway, we try to keep small water bottles to hand out to students who forget to bring their own, but we have run out. Donations would be appreciated.
