We had an un-fore-gettable time at Saturday’s DAB Club mini golf outing! ⛳️☀️ From hole-in-ones to high-fives, it was a day full of laughter, connection, and fun in the sun. Thanks to everyone who joined us—we loved seeing our DAB crew shine both on and off the green! 💚

If reading and writing seem unusually hard—or stalled altogether—summer is a great time to get answers.

✅ Know where your child stands.
✅ Get a clear plan forward.
✅ Make school easier this fall.
