In celebration of Autism Awareness Month, W.S. Mount Elementary School hosted a thoughtful and engaging assembly led by third grade teacher Ms. Hourigan and fourth grade teacher Ms. Graham. The event aimed to educate students about autism, fostering a deeper understanding of its unique characteristics and promoting a culture of acceptance and inclusion.

Throughout the assembly, students learned about the different ways autism can affect individuals, as well as the importance of supporting and embracing their peers. Through interactive discussions and informative presentations, the students gained valuable insights into how they can show compassion, kindness and respect to those around them.

The assembly not only provided important education but also set a positive tone for the entire month. The kickoff event inspired students to reflect on the importance of inclusion and how they can create a welcoming and supportive environment within the school community. It was a wonderful start to a month dedicated to raising awareness and promoting kindness for all.
