Hi local businesses! 👋
Dayton Avenue is gearing up for our annual Fun Run this November, and we need your help to make it special! We are looking for community sponsors to help us provide a free event shirt for every single student.
By supporting our run, you help build school spirit and show our kids that their community cares. If your business would like sponsor a portion of the shirts, please email us a message! Thank you for supporting our school.
