WE ALL THINK DIFFERENTLY TOO!
Bradford had its very first Neurodiversity celebration this week! Thank you to Ms. O’Sullivan, Ms. Ehrmann, Ms. DeCandia, and our SATP/ABA Parents for putting together these wonderful activities. As we continue to build our cultural awareness, it also entails recognizing diversity in all aspects. Students watched a presentation on Neurodiversity and then made bracelets with colorful beads to illustrate the different ways of thinking. We ended the day with students creating (attempting to) a rainbow-to demonstrated the spectrum of neurodiverse learners.
SEL WEEK: April 11-14
In honor of celebrating the whole child, our amazing SEL Committee composed a great lineup for SEL Week. Each day represents a core theme (mindfulness, healthy nutrition, and self-care). Shout out to PTA and parents who have helped put these exciting, fun-filled activities together.
