International Angelman Syndrome Day occurs each year on February 15th. We are a little late due to the weather, but it is never too late to celebrate Tenley. She lights up everyone’s day at South School! We would like to thank Sheena, Jake, and W7 for organizing this, creating t-shirts, and donating the proceeds back to the South School Sped Department. As you can tell from the pictures, the kids loved making Tenley’s day while spreading awareness for Angelman Syndrome.💙
