Dear Members of the J. Turner Hood School
Community,
Our students and staff are encouraged to
wear BLUE on April 2nd for National Autism Awareness Day! The J. Turner Hood School is participating in the National Light It Up
Blue Campaign to promote Autism Awareness on April 2nd. Please show your
support by wearing blue to school on April 2nd.
Thanks to a generous donation
from one of our Hood School Families each student will receive “Light It Up
Blue” sticker and each staff member will receive an autism awareness pin to
wear on April 2nd.
Our Student Council will be making
announcements throughout the week to educate our students on this topic.
