Hello Families in the LDF Community! Here is information that we are sharing from MHLT school.

Orders need to be turned into Tiffany at the LDF school by October 20th./NEXT WEEK! Extra order forms are available at the school. Side Note: Please know that the sizing information is just as it is shown, we have no further information as to the fit & any additional sizing logistics. Please bring in payment in the exact amount and again, ask for Tiffany at ext. 197. Thank you.
