About:
The Connolly School community came together on April 28, 2023, to support neurodiversity during Neurodiversity and Autism Acceptance Month. The K-Kids sponsored a walk-a-thon to raise funds for the purchase of neurodiverse-friendly equipment for the school’s playground. The goal is to create an inclusive environment where all students can feel comfortable and have fun during recess time.
Students and teachers joined in the walk-a-thon, which was a great success. The event not only raised funds, but it also raised awareness about neurodiversity and the importance of creating inclusive spaces for all students. Connolly School is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of school life. Thank you to Dora Ricciardi and Maureen Hellman for organizing this event.
