KDM Elementary School Centered April Around Acceptance, Love, and Understanding
For more than a decade, ambassador Dave Koenig (pictured far right) and his fellow faculty members have been committed to educating their students about the importance of autism awareness.
This year, the Katharine D. Malone Elementary School in Rockaway, NJ centered their activities and t-shirt design around the message of “accept, love, and understanding.” The staff and students participated in daily awareness activities that included creating a hallway display, showing off their t-shirts during the annual dress-down-day, and hosting a walk-a-thon.
We have spirit…yes we do!
KDM’s annual staff-wide dress-down-day fundraiser and student vs. faculty basketball game have been highlights every April. Dave organized the inaugural basketball game in 2011, adding dress-down-days in 2013.
