Inclusion Assembly Fox 29 News
Students at Monocacy Elementary and the Middle School received a lesson in inclusion on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 from a special child and her mother. Mikayla Resh and her mother, Kimberly, visited both buildings to help students move from initial feelings of fear to understanding and acceptance of children with disabilities. Mrs. Resh shared their book, "Our Friend Mikayla", written by Mikayla's third grade class and presented a puzzle presentation to help students "put inclusion together". After the presentation, Mrs. Resh answered questions from the students in the audience to help them learn about inclusion and inspire them to get involved and ensure everyone is included in all activities. Thank you to Mrs. Nikki Habecker who secured this grant and assembly for our district. Please click the link for Fox 29 coverage
