D300 Relay For Life

Today, our GDW staff participated in the D300 Relay For Life, which was held at Hampshire High School.  This event was a great way for our District 300 learning community to come together to remember loved ones lost, honor survivors, and provide assistance to the American Cancer Society.  With the tremendous support of our friends, families, and school community, our team raised nearly $6,000, which was donated to the American Cancer Society.  Thank you for your support, Wildcats!
