Celebrating Our Unique Eagles! 🦅

April was Autism Awareness Month, and our RDES family celebrated the beautiful "puzzle" of our community!

A huge Eagle Shout-Out to Mrs. Prewitt for organizing our amazing Autism Awareness bulletin board. To bring this project to life, every class had the opportunity to decorate a puzzle piece. Our students shared what makes them unique, showcasing the diverse passions and personalities that make our school so special.

Mrs. Prewitt has used these individual masterpieces to create a vibrant display that reminds us all: while we are each unique, we fit together perfectly as one RDES family! Stop by the hall to see how our students are "connecting" to make our school a better, more inclusive place.
