On Friday, May 15, Blue Dragon Academy will be hosting a Honk and Wave for its PreK graduates and their Class of 2020 employees. The event, which will be held between 8:30-9:00 a.m., encourages people to drive past BDA and to honk in celebration. Blue Dragon Academy is located on Center Avenue and 1st Street. Graduates will be lined up to wave back, so everyone is encouraged to head over on Friday morning!
