Grow Together, Succeed Together
District News
Students invited a friend to join their small group, where they read We’re All Wonders and reflected on what makes each of us unique and special.
Students participated in powerful experiences; visiting the sensory room, attempting to pick up pennies while wearing gloves to understand challenges with fine motor skills, and trying a dyslexia simulator to build empathy and awareness.
We learned that while we can’t change how someone looks or how their brain works, we can change how others see and treat them. Kindness, understanding, and inclusion make all the difference.
