Let’s start the new year off right by thanking Anderson teachers and staff for all of their hard work. It’s time to restock the treats so we can continue the tradition of giving back with monthly Dragon Fuel, a surprise trolley of snacks and treats.

Please purchase some Dragon Fuel from the link to the Amazon wishlist, and it will be delivered directly to the school for distribution.

Thank you for supporting the Anderson community! We will periodically add more items to the wishlist, so please check back often.
