✨ October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month ✨

This month, we shine a light on the incredible strengths, talents, and resilience of individuals with learning disabilities. 💡 Every learner has a unique way of processing the world, and awareness helps us build classrooms, workplaces, and communities where EVERY mind can thrive.

Let’s replace stigma with understanding, barriers with support, and challenges with opportunities. Together, we can celebrate differences, advocate for accessibility, and create spaces where all learners feel seen and empowered.

💙 Join us in spreading awareness, sharing resources, and uplifting voices. Because learning differently is not less—it’s just different.

Good morning & Happy Friday!!

Wondering what to do tomorrow with your Saturday morning?

Come join the Lace Up for LMA: 5K event!!

Saturday's 5K is OPEN TO EVERYONE! Students, friends, and family are welcome!

We will meet at 10 am on Saturday at the Huff Park pavilion near the playground. The walk/run will start at 10:15 am. The closest parking lot is off Aberdeen. An alternative entrance and parking lot are available near the baseball fields, off Ball Ave. 2399 Ball Ave NE, GR 49505, with a path that leads to the pavilion.

There is no registration fee, but donations for LMA are appreciated!
Click here to DONATE on the GRID

As a community, we are trying to "FILL the GRID"!
Each tile, ranging from $1-$100, on the giving grid represents a dollar amount.
For each tile you choose, you donate that amount to LMA. The link can be found in the comments!!😊

SO far, you all have raised over $1,000!!!
Every gift amount helps! Please share this with all your family & friends!

We have 69 tiles left on the grid. The goal is to fill all 100 tiles and raise $5,050!

Let's lace up for LMA! 👟

🤩🤩Superstar Senior Alert!🤩🤩 With two weeks to go until LMA graduation, we have Khalid up for our senior spotlight! We will be sad when he leaves and wish him the best of luck. His senior quote is from Nelson Mandela, “Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do". His favorite teacher is all of them; they all have unique ways of teaching. His best memory of LMA is going to the park every school year.
