Spread the Word Day - Hi Homestead! This week, on Wednesday, March 4th, it is Spread the Word Day. This day is dedicated to showcasing the impact of inclusive language and actions so that the discrimination of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can come to an end. This day is significant, so we're asking you all to join us in spreading inclusion. You can start today by pledging using this LINK!
