To mark the “Autism Speaks: Light It Up Blue” campaign and “World Autism

“Light It Up Blue” is a yearly event designed to shed light on autism and bring

attention to the need for it’s further study. For more information on this event

please see these links:

“Light It Up Blue”

And the “Art Star” of the Month is...

Great Job!!

I wanted to send a “Thank You” to all of those

who helped out the Art Program over the past

month with art supplies and materials, including

Kathleen M. (Dir. Of Program Services) and

Chris C. (Rm 310).

I also wanted to thank the staff of Ulster Sav-

ings Bank for allowing Anderson students to

display their artwork at the Red Hook branch.

Thanks!!

To all of you (and those of you that I may have

missed)... I say,

“Thank You!!”
