In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, Tuttle Avenue Elementary School students celebrated Bubbles 4 Autism Day. The annual event is dedicated to raising awareness, promoting acceptance and spreading hope for those with autism.

Following a virtual assembly with Principal Jeanmarie Zambelli, students were given bubbles and headed outside to the field for a schoolwide bubble extravaganza. Mrs. Zambelli also talked about autism awareness during her story time, while promoting the social emotional learning (SEL) theme of inclusion.

Not only did the students have a wonderful time together, the activity was a great way to foster a sense of acceptance a connection within the school community.
