| My Family at Emilee's "Giving Back to Autism 5K" |
A few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a phenomenal young lady named Emilee. I had heard she was working on a senior project about autism, so I decided to help out. Her 5K fundraiser was absolutely perfect. She raised over $2,000, some of which will help fund communicative devices for my classroom.
(PS - Tanner ran the whole thing!)

Just before Christmas, I received a phone call to meet the EC (Exceptional Children Program) Director at the County Office. I was told someone was going to present our department with a check. Excitedly, I rushed to the office, where I met this remarkable young man named Aaron. He is a high school student from another local high school who is also doing his project on autism. His contribution will help fund items for sensory integration in my classroom.

I am amazed at the ambition of the young folks in our county. These two outstanding teens worked so hard to bring awareness to the community and to give back to a cause they deemed worthy. I am absolutely touched to have been a part of their journey.
