FRANKLIN, Ind. A couple of weeks ago, we told you about a local grandma, a Mimi, who spent months buying school supplies for students in Franklin.
Now, there s a great update - she bought and collected enough supplies for every child in every grade at Webb Elementary School.
At the school in Franklin Wednesday, it was like Christmas morning. Packages ripped open, tape torn off, people digging through tissue paper to see what s wrapped inside. It s exciting for us just to unload it all because we re like, Oh, what s in this box? exclaimed PTO president and first grade teacher Emily Barger.
Students and staff of Faye Webb Elementary School were all decked out in blue attire as they held their first Autism Awareness Walk at the campus Friday.
Assistant principal Kimberly Ellis put the march together as an extension of the diversity, equity and inclusion initiative school officials have set at the campus. The theme for the walk was Light It Up Blue. I taught Special Education before I became an administrator and I always say once a Special Education teacher, always a Special Education teacher, Ellis said. Even though I m in this administrative position, I feel this personal obligation to make sure every single student is provided a solid education. That accompanies inclusion; we have to be all inclusive to ensure every single student is learning at their full potential.
