In honor of Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month, the Autism Acceptance Club hosted a meeting with Interact after school on Wednesday, April 23rd. Rivi Jay gave an engaging presentation about ASD that got everyone involved in the conversation.

Love Letters for Literacy
From December - May, we will meet after school with our notecards, colored pencils, crayons & stencils. Students can work alone or in groups, and the only rules are to...
BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN!
AFTER SCHOOL:
Monday 12/2/24, Thursday 12/5/24, Monday 12/16/24, Monday 1/13/24, and Wednesday 1/22/25
Started by NJ student Jordan Grabelle of Voorhees. The purpose of the project is to equip families in need with handmade literacy kits to make teaching the letters of the alphabet easy and fun! Love Letters sets out to change the fact that lower-income children may know only 1 or 2 letters of the alphabet when entering kindergarten, compared to middle class children who know all 26!
Completed sets of cards & papers deadline is being extended! Work on these through all of February!
Each Love Letters for Literacy Kit should include:
All 26 Letters of the Alphabet (on individual notecards - do NOT write words out...just letters of the alphabet)
Handwritten Letter (see template below for what to write)
Printed Directions for Games (in English and Spanish)
PUT ALL OF THE ABOVE IN A ZIPLOC BAG
