On Monday, May 11th, Washington Street School continued its support of the Camp Anchor program by educating students about Autism. Grade level presentations for students in grades 3-6 were conducted by Dr. Stephanie Baglici. The presentations, included a spotlight of 25 famous individuals who have overcome various disabilities, a reading of the award winning story about a child with Autism, My Best Friend Will , a Question and Answer PowerPoint presentation, as well as an inspirational video voted by ESPN as the most inspirational sports story of the year.
Children in grades K-2 were read the award winning book, Looking After Louis, and made puzzle ribbons which will adorn the school.
On May 12th all students will receive WSS "It's Cool to Care" T-shirts, with a puzzle ribbon on the front, in honor of our commitment to Camp Anchor as well as all students with disabilities. Students will also be encouraged to wear these shirts to the Fun Run on June 6th, as well as a soon to be announced special event.
Special thanks to SEPTA and the WSS PTA for purchasing these shirts for our students and for their support of this most worthwhile initiative. Thank you also to Dr. Baglici and Mr. Tomack who helped put together this wonderful presentation.
