Mokena Junior High students raised awareness around inclusion, respect, and all abilities through Respect Week! Students participated in a PE takeover with LWSRA to learn about adaptive sports, learned about a different disability each day and dressed in a certain color to bring awareness, supported fundraising for LWSRA through the purchase of stickers and fidgets, and signed a banner to pledge respect and inclusion and as a visual reminder of the school's comitment to inclusion!
Thank you to Mr. Brayden, Mr. Ruben, and Mr. Bruce for all you do behind the scenes to help maintain our schools!
