I love when I'm invited into our CES classrooms. Thank you Mrs. Ellmyer for having me join your students as they shared their How To Google Slides. They were all awesome and everyone was so excited to share! I am now an expert on how to make lemonade, PBJ sandwiches, & s'mores!

CES Staff and Students recognize Autism Awareness by wearing blue.💙
Blue is associated with a calm feeling and acceptance in an otherwise loud and busy world for people on the spectrum.
