At Maggie L. Walker Governor\u2019s School, we are grateful for Mrs. Wendy DeGroat and the care she brings to our library each day. She supports students and staff, strengthens learning, and creates a welcoming space where Dragons can explore ideas, pursue knowledge, and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Mrs. DeGroat, for all you do for our school community. Go Dragons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
