Smith celebrates Disability Awareness this Month with a beautiful showcase created by students. Smith also had a visit from a special young lady, Roxanne, living with blindness. She has become somewhat of a part-time resident of the OL Smith Community, speaking to our students on an annual basis. She shared her experiences, challenges, hurtful comments, and the desire to raise awareness of the “R” word (retard). We are proud of our Vikings, living the Viking Values and displaying them. The students’ attentiveness, thoughts, & personal contributions were impressive. They pledged to help stop its use and will be signing a Pledge banner during lunches. Look for an email for the Facebook pledge which has reached over 800,00. Let’s get it to 1 million! Thank you for making a difference!
