Unified Club News
The next Unified meeting will be held on Thursday, April 30 at 7:45 a.m. in Room #103. Students will have breakfast and create posters as part of our Unified challenge for the month of April. Since April is Autism Awareness Month, students will write or draw ways they can show unity and kindness to others in their school.
