School Days, School Days. Dear Old Golden Rule Days.

Many of the older generation heard this song when it was the beginning of the school year.

Many parents and children dread the beginning of the school year because it is hard to buy all the needed supplies.

When you have job loss, reduced work hours or loss of housing, school supplies are a hard items to buy. Once again the Paragon Club bought school supplies to donate.
