This morning, we paired Wellness Wednesday with remembering Dolly Parton by waking the students up after announcements by doing the electric slide to “9 to 5.” Many students have benefited from Dolly’s Imagination Library and her music has impacted millions of people. She was truly legendary. Sadly, no pictures or videos were taken since the principal was busy playing the song over the intercom.
