📚✨ A Huge Thank You to Duncan Memorial Church! ✨📚

Pure JOY at McDonald Elementary School! Duncan Memorial Church generously donated hundreds of books for our students — and you should have seen their faces light up! 😍

“I can’t believe I get to take this one home!” said one excited 2nd grader clutching her new book.
“This is the best day ever!” shouted a 4th grader with a big grin.
Another student whispered, “I’ve never had a book that’s just mine.” ❤️

These moments remind us how powerful books can be. Thank you, Duncan Memorial Church, for sharing the gift of reading and helping our Seagulls soar! 🕊️💙
