National MPS Awareness Day is May 15th, here are the ways we promote it every year.....
MPS/ML Awareness Day 2008:
This year we decide to not only do Crazy Dress Day but to create an awareness video for the kids. I think they loved it!!! Once again the Crazy Dress contest was a huge hit and the kids were crazier that I have ever seen them. It is so wonderful to know how much Seth's school supports him!!!
