What's Happening
Abilities Awareness Week
Abilities Awareness is a program that gives Banyan students a glimpse of what it would be like to have different abilities. During this is a very exciting and important “life lesson” week, students participate in hands-on activities and learn about what it is like to have different "abilities." The goal of this week is to help our students understand that we all have a variety of differences as well as similarities and we all have the need for respect, acceptance, inclusion, and friendship. We need parents, grandparents, and friends to help run 5 unique hands-on stations in the MPR. No previous experience is necessary and step-by-step instructions will be provided. Activities include, but are not limited to:
- Fine Motor Station: students string Froot Loops while wearing socks on their hands
- Vision Station: students try to put a puzzle together while wearing a blindfold
Volunteers may SIGN UP for one or more sessions. For more information and to get involved, please contact Jenn Miller, PTA Abilities Awareness Committee Chair.
