This week was Neurodiversity Celebration Week at Zane North and across our district. Staff and students engaged in conversations and activities, and conducted read alouds to explain neurodiversity and increase awareness and knowledge about brain differences. We emphasized sharing information about different neurotypes (such as Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia) in a strengths-based, inclusive way.

During Neurodiversity Celebration Week, students learned that neurodiversity is an umbrella term, used to refer to different ways of thinking. To reinforce this point, students got together to decorate their own umbrellas that highlighted various neurodifferences (such as Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, Tourette Syndrome), and individual student umbrellas were combined to make larger umbrella displays, to emphasize our unity as a school community in valuing all kinds of different minds.
As part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we gathered together to plant some flowers. Each student in the school had an opportunity to plant a flower in a seed starting greenhouse kit, choosing from a dozen different kinds of flower seeds. The different kinds of flowers were meant to represent various neurotypes and differences we have as individual learners. And planting them together was a demonstration of our unity as a school community to celebrate, value, and respect our neurodiversity.
Students and staff participated in Rock Your Socks day in support of World Down Syndrome Day on Thursday, March 21st.
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders enjoyed their trip to see "Shrek the Musical" at Collingswood High School today.
