This week Walnut Street Elementary received an incredible donation from the Reynolds family in honor of their mother Margaret Reynolds. For years, Mrs. Reynolds was a Dover Township crossing guard who dutifully served our community. She recently passed away. Mr. William Reynolds presented us with a donation of $1,000 in their mother's name that will go to Walnut Street Elementary School families in need. All of us at Walnut Street Elementary thank you.
