🚨Attention Bulldog Families!🚨
Our Lost & Found is currently bursting at the seams and accepting applications to become a department store. 🧥👕🧢👟🍼
If your child has "lost" anything this year (which, let's be honest… is probably something 😆), now is the time to come search for it.
Please stop by ASAP before these forgotten treasures are donated.
🎒 Your child's missing hoodie misses them too. ❤️
