Hickory Elementary School walks for Autism Awareness Month

May 11—Students at Hickory Elementary School participated in the school's annual Walk for Autism event on April 29.

The all-day fundraising event was held on the ball fields behind the school and helped to support Autism Awareness Month and the students in the STRIVE program who attend the school. A group of students and teachers from C. Milton Wright's High School's Life Skills and STRIVE classrooms joined in the fun as well and some of the C. Milton Wright students also helped design the special Autism Awareness t-shirts for the day.

During the month of April, Hickory students decorated the school halls in support of autism awareness and worked to create autism awareness t-shirts. They also learned interesting facts about autism through the school's morning announcements, listened to stories read-aloud about autism, and raised funds, all culminating with last Friday's Walk for Autism.

"Hickory Elementary School strives to be an inclusive, caring, respectful and friendly community for diverse learners and this past month highlighted those goals," said Principal Brad Stinar.
