Celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Month!
October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. Students at Garden Ridge Elementary will be learning about successful adults who have dyslexia.

These students will help bring awareness about dyslexia to our campus and we have set aside FRIDAY, October 20th to encourage all staff and students to wear RED to celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Day!
