Each year McMillin participates in what I believe is one of the most important exercises of empathy and acceptance, Ability Awareness Day. After spending this past Monday honoring the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I think it’s fantastic that our students and the community have a chance to continue building on Dr. King’s dream where equity and faith in your fellow man is at the forefront of how we treat each other. Ability Awareness began at McMillin with our very own kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Diana Carson. Mrs. Carson believes by teaching today’s children and youth about disability from a perspective of dignity, respect, appreciation, and inclusion, we will create future generations that honor and appreciate differences and offer respectful opportunities and supports to people so that they are included within their communities. This year our Ability Awareness Day will land on Wednesday, Jan 21. We invite the entire McMillin community to come out and listen to the various guests that will be here talking to our students.
