Ability Awareness Day Kick Off Assembly

Today was such a special day for our Concord community, Ability Awareness day! We kicked off the morning with an assembly from Brad Bauer. Brad suffered serious spinal injuries during a spring break trip when he dove into water without realizing a sandbar was underneath. We posted the live video of the assembly on Facebook and here is a link to his graduation story.

We're All Wonders

2nd graders read this book and then brainstormed things we can't change (hair color, skin color, height, age) and what that makes people think about us. Then they talked about how we wish they would see us.
