GES "Light it Up Blue"

Throughout the month of April, GES staff and students will be supporting Autism Awareness month. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, educational and behavioral challenges. Students and parents are both encouraged to support this worthy cause.

We will be taking the money raised from ice cream sales and hat wearing funds, and placing it towards a donation to the Autism Society of Alabama. We also will be placing an order for "Light it Up Blue" support t-shirts for $15.00 and blue lightbulbs for $5 each for anyone that is interested. Forms for these orders will be available in the GES office. We will end our month long fundraiser with a free "Light it up Blue" walk for our students on Friday, April 28.
