World Autism Day! Color the world blue to show our support, love, understanding and acceptance.



“Today, you are You, that is true. There is no one alive who is You-we than You. Dr. Seuss
Today is World Autism Awareness Day! Color the world BLUE today!


Light it up Blue today for Autism Awareness . I wear blue for all of my students past and present that are struggling today in an upside down world, that wish they were in school with their regular routines. We just have to take it one day at a time! Join me in showing support by wearing blue today!

Tonight is a time for a big "Thank you" for the people and organizations that have assisted with Meal prep and distribution: Thank you Darla, Mindy, Becky, Sherry, Mr. Weedman, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Beebe, and Mrs. Logsdon. Without this team, we could not provide over 200 meals per day to our students. Additionally, Feed My Lambs and the Fairview Food Pantry have provided weekend bags for every student the past two weeks. "Thank you" to these great organizations. Last, but not least, "Thank you" to Dollar General and Circle K for donating thousands of bags to assist in packaging and delivering our meals. Thank you all for giving your time and resources to provide for our students! - Dr. Curry
