From creativity and humor to resilience and determination, our students with exceptionalities bring so much to our school. Let's celebrate the incredible abilities they share every day and continue to create spaces where they are empowered to succeed. 🎨🎶💪 #AbilitiesFirst #SeeTheAbleNotTheLabel #CelebrateStrengths #4theT

🧠 Wednesday: We All Learn Differently “Different ways of learning make our classrooms stronger.” Learning isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s something to be proud of! Some students learn best by seeing, others by doing, moving, or hearing. Today, we celebrate the many ways our students grow, explore, and reach their goals. By embracing diverse learning styles, we make space for all students to succeed and shine. 📚✨ #LearningDifferences #EveryLearnerMatters #StrengthInDiversity #4theT

Whether it’s lending a helping hand, sitting with someone new at lunch, or simply offering a smile, let’s choose kindness today and every day. 💬💕 #KindnessCounts #BeTheKindness #InclusiveSchools #4theT
