April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, which helps recognize the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect.
Rome has some wonderful family serving agencies who help us bring awareness to these issues and to help our children and families thrive.
We encourage you to join us in wearing blue on Monday for Blue Monday, to bring awareness to the community problem of child abuse and neglect!

How amazing is this! This year we started a program that will assist 21 RMS students who need formal wear for the Rome Middle School Formal. We will invite these students to stay at school for a makeover experience with "fairy godmothers" to assist in hair and makeup. Truett's Chick-Fil-A will provide food and after the makeover, students will attend the formal.
A huge thank you to Restoration Rome and private community donors for the formal wear and shoes and making this possible!
