In honor of Disability Awareness Month Stewart School participated in the "Awareness Games". Created by Michele Vincent, School Social Worker and facilitated by School Psychologists Dina Mulstay and Gina Tornincaso, each grade participated in an assembly designed to build empathy and awareness for students with different abilities and challenges. Students rotated through different stations that simulated what it was like to have various disabilities such as sensory issues, processing disorders, mobility impairment, hearing impairments and visual impairments. The students loved trying the different challenges and the hands-on experience. The goal is to broaden our students' perspectives and allow them to see the world through the lens of different abilities people face each day!
It's another busy week for concerts and festivals. Be sure to check the district website for details and more information:
