The week we return from Spring Break, we will be kicking off Autism Awareness Week at PRE!

Below is a list of activities planned for the week...

Light It Up Blue! - All students are encouraged to wear blue throughout the week Monday - Friday. If a student is spotted wearing blue, he or she just might receive a small treat or be featured on the school's news show. All teachers will also have a blue light bulb in use in their classrooms.  

Buddy Up Inclusion Activities: Classes will pair up to participate in 10-15 minute activities designed to be all inclusive.  These activities are intended to serve as the perfect opportunity to teach tolerance and demonstrate behavior that is welcoming of all.
