April is Autism Acceptance Month. We plan to have a spirit week the week before spring break and will send out the flyer as we get closer to that time. In conjunction with the spirit week, we are selling t-shirts that we would like everyone who purchases one to wear each Friday in April in recognition of Autism Acceptance. Please see the attached flyer. Please return orders with payment to Ms. Taylor at CHS, in 4160, by 3/18, in order to purchase a t-shirt. For questions, see Dr. Watson (CES), Mrs. Daniels (CES), Ms. Stewart (CMS), Mrs. Crenshaw (CHS), or Mrs. Taylor (CHS).

Jackson HS/Cumberland HS; Donnie Qualls, Rye Cove HS), and two contributors (Jerry Carter, athletics director, Liberty (Bealeton)/Briar Woods; Carey Harveycutter, Director of Civic Facilities, City of Salem).

Coaches are eligible after 15 years of experience or upon retirement and evaluated on the merits of their accomplishments at the high school level.
