Hello fellow and potential Dragon Backers!
The Dragonbackers is an organization in which many of us work together by contributing what extra time we have to support the students in our district.
We have just begun another exciting school year, so we wanted to take this opportunity to re-cap the activities of the Dragon Backers during this past 2007-2008 school year.
Please enjoy our new website where you can find out more about our various involvements within the Halstead Community for our youth.
Be sure to check out each new page and interact.
If you are not a member yet or are renewing your membership you can now do so here online.
There is new customised apparel available now in our new eStore!
Please continue your journey by clicking the links down the side to the left or above across on the blue stripe below the dragon.
Thank you to all who have contributed time and money to support the Dragon Backers.
We’ll see you at Dragon events throughout the upcoming year!
