Happy National Autism Awareness Month!

As the days grow longer and the flowers bloom, April bursts onto the scene with a whirlwind of excitement. From the reflective calm of Lent and the vibrant traditions of Passover to the high energy buzz of Coachella and Beyoncé’s much anticipated tour, there’s something for everyone this season. Thanks to leadership our Color Wars was lively and stunning. Our spring break gave us all a breather, April Fools’ brought the laughs, and now it’s time to get serious about sustainability with Earth Day and let’s all show support during Autism Awareness Month. Meanwhile, our kickball teams are heating up the field.
