Thank you to Jessica Trussell, MU Extension and The Livingston County Children’s Wellness Committee for hosting a successful Back to School Bonanza! They were able to provide over 500 children with the supplies he/she needs to begin school. It is an honor to have a community so dedicated to our children. There are four backpacks at Dewey full of supplies. If you would like one, please call our office. They will be handed out on a first come first serve basis. #dewey45
