MDA Day in the Office of Child Nutrition and Healthy Schools

The MDE Office of Child Nutrition and Healthy Schools had a GREAT turn-out for “MDA Day” on May 22. This office had a total of 25 staff members to participate in this fundraiser. Although all 25 are not pictured, they did support the cause by purchasing a T-Shirt & bracelet. This fundraiser was particularly important to April Catchings because her 10-year-old nephew (Elijah) was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy in December 2016.
