High School and Middle School Connections students recently visited classrooms at Swallow Union, Florence Roche, and Boutwell for their spring Day of Connection, centered on Neurodiversity Acceptance. During these visits, our middle and high school students led read-alouds and facilitated thoughtful conversations with younger learners about neurodiversity and the importance of celebrating the differences that make each of us unique.

This meaningful experience not only builds leadership, empathy, and communication skills among our 8th–12th grade Connections students, but also helps nurture a culture of awareness, acceptance, and kindness across our early childhood and elementary school communities.
