Autism Acceptance at Holicong
It was a collaborative, eventful and informative week at Holicong! A few updates and shout outs below!
- 2023 Faces of Holicong – Autism Acceptance I & E - Thank you to the new FRIENDS group and Mrs. Frymoyer's staff & students for helping with our Intervention and Enrichment activity. We have included a link to the work we did that day - both information about ASD and a way for ALL Holicong students & staff to participate. Please look for next week's update to see the progress of the Autism Infiniti Mural!
- FRIENDS Group - Shout out to Ms. Zimmerman, Mrs. Fymoyer, and Ms. Camburn and the students who have joined this new organization! We are excited as these students have already made contributions and formed relationships with our students!
- Ms. Romig - Shout out to Ms. Romig for offering her Q & A sessions during I & E with students interested in learning more about autism spectrum disorder based on her expertise as a special education teacher and more importantly having an amazing older brother with ASD.
- Colonial Cafe - Shout out to the students who work with Mr. Simon, Mrs. Frymoyer, and Ms. Camburn on the Colonial Cafe. This week our students made special treats in celebration of Autism Acceptance.
- Dodgeball Tournament - Shout out to Mr. Cochran, Ms. Bauer, Mr. Nelsen and the students who participated in this fundraiser to support our local ASD community! Pictures of the winners included in the update!
- Together Sports - Shout out to Mr. Kelly for taking the lead on this new group who will participate in monthly athletic events with students. We are excited to see this group grow!
As you can see, we are doing a lot at Holicong and this only touches the surface. If you have any interest in joining the groups above or learning more about ASD or our regional support program, please reach out to Ms. Camburn or Mrs. Frymoyer!
