At Northside Elementary School, that message of acceptance is clear to see thanks to a special project created by students.

With their physical education teachers, students in kindergarten through fifth grade participated in discussions surrounding autism and other neurodivergent conditions. Following the conversation, each student filled a puzzle piece or butterfly with the attributes that make them unique and special. Throughout the halls, classroom doors have also been decorated under the same theme. Additionally, every Tuesday, the Northside community dresses in blue to mark Autism Awareness Month.
