Fall is officially here, as I type this, it is a beautiful crisp, cool day. Perfect for all the community events happening this month in RVA.
I hope the school year is going well so far for everyone. It has been smooth for us. I am pleased with the transition, the communication and he is really working hard with good results. It may not be forever, but it is for now, and I am happy! This picture is from his first Football game, his older sister has truly embraced his HS experience and is including in him as much as she can. I am holding all of it as tightly as I can, it feels so good!
We are excited to introduce our first “Teacher Recognition Award”. You can read about it here, it is a chance for you to nominate a person in your life who makes a difference with your child. It can be their classroom teacher, assistant, music, speech- anyone who makes that difference!
The Step Up For Downs Syndrome walk is quickly approaching, we are looking forward to being there. Please stop by and say hi. Be sure to “meet” Megan, too.
This past month, we have had a lot of new subscribers along with new sponsors coming on board. I feel like we are getting out there for more to learn and see the great things this site can do! It makes me so happy. PLUS, KNOWDIfferernt.net is going to be a sponsor for one of my favorite events, UNCORK HOPE! Watch for more info, but be sure you know all about Medical Home Plus!
