In partnership with the Dragon Den, our retail operation is introducing some great new gifts and gear for parents like hats, stadium blankets, logo magnets, keychains and more. Sales occur at many on-campus sporting events. Look for our tent and table and show your Dragon Pride!
This program allows you to earn rebates for a designated charity simply by shopping at local grocery stores and retailers – like Lucky Supermarkets, Piedmont Grocery, Save Mart and more. Sign up on escrip.com (and ask other family members to do it too), designate Bishop O’Dowd High School as the non-profit to receive contributions and the rest will take care of itself.
