Each year, Dudley Elementary has a coin drive in conjunction with the Book Fair. The coin drive allows us to purchase books for our school and the total amount is matched by Scholastic in order for Scholastic to purchase books for children in need. This year, the goal was set at $1,000 in coins. If the students met their goal, Mrs. Floyd agreed to spend 1/2 day on the roof! In classic Dudley Elementary style, the students MET (and exceeded) their goal and yesterday they enjoyed every minute of seeing Mrs. Floyd on the roof!
