Our Principals, Curriculum Director and Superintendent visited our amazing Lorain County Fair to meet some Dukes and learn about their 4H projects today! 🍀 We had to stop at the marching band donut booth to see our students hard at work baking and selling donuts! 🍩

We love seeing all your hard work and enjoy cheering you on as you compete this week! Good luck, Dukes!
