Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome Day. This is celebrated every year on the 21st of March. To celebrate, people around the world always do the "Rock your Socks" campaign where they wear bright colored, mismatched, or even 3 different socks to bring awareness to people with Down Syndrome.
So if they’d like- we invite your student to rock their socks, wear some yellow and blue, learn something new, and celebrate WDSD 2023 with us at Andrews tomorrow!

Today we had a practice emergency drill with the support of ABSS and the city of Burlington. This required us to practice evacuating the building and loading buses in case of a real situation that would have required us to leave campus. Staff and students did a wonderful job and all went well. We appreciate the support of the district staff and emergency services of Burlington and Alamance County. Your children were true leaders today!
