LIVE ON PURPOSE - #PURPOSITY
"Would you help if a student in your child's class needed shoes, supplies, or a family lost their home in a fire?..."
We are working to launch the Clarkston School District as an
organization with Purposity and are in need of your help! Purposity is a
platform that works with local school systems to help source needs. In
order to launch this platform, we need 400 followers by October 15th! By
downloading the free Purposity App in the App Store or Google Play, you
will receive a notification once a week letting you know about various student's needs within the Clarkston School District.
If you'd like more information about Purposity, visit their website at https://www.purposity.com.
Thank you for helping our students in need!
OCTOBER IS DISABILITY AWARENESS HISTORY MONTH!
Did you know…
Washington successfully passed a bill that established October as
“Disability History Month” in all public schools. In passing the bill,
the legislature stated that “recognizing disability history will inspire
students with disabilities to feel a greater sense of pride, reduce
harassment and bullying, and help keep students with disabilities in
school.”
It is important
for people to understand that people with disabilities are more alike
than different. For children, this is especially important because
attitudes develop during childhood by watching and listening to peers,
teachers and family. Schools, clubs and youth groups are ideal places to
increase knowledge about people with disabilities and to foster
positive attitudes about them. "Inclusion is within everyone's ability!"
