When we take the time to understand and uplift one another, we create a community where everyone belongs and everyone can succeed. #WeAreLions #NeurodiversityAwareness

Small actions can make a big difference. Whether it’s offering a quiet space, rethinking how we give instructions, or simply showing patience—these everyday choices help create a school where every student, including those who are neurodivergent, can thrive. 💙💛 Let’s keep celebrating the unique ways our students learn, grow, and succeed—because inclusion isn’t one big gesture, it’s a series of small, intentional ones. #NeurodiversityAwareness
