Students in JAE decorated infinity symbols in rainbow colors to create an Autism Acceptance Garden in the main hallway, which reads “Acceptance is an action. What are you doing to help it grow?”

Each grade level has their own tree. The students wrote words of love, kindness and acceptance on the symbols.

Thanks to teacher aide Mrs. Jasmine Perez, who created the trees and put up all student infinity symbols, and teacher Mrs. Gina Hale and Behavior Specialist Ms. Michelle Pfaeffle for guiding the efforts of the students in sharing JAE’s positivity and growth!

Thanks to fifth grade Academic Leaders Lily Cook, Gavin Damiano, Travis Giagios, Abby Villafane and Mallack Walsh for working with Mrs. Hale's students Shea Anderson, Blaze Carlino, Joshua Opitz, Leah Teague and Lia Veraldi and helping to create these colorful and inspiring messages!
