All had a blast as the seniors and middle school students enjoyed the social interaction of a friendly game of Dominos Chicken Foot. Students at Mount Wolf celebrated diversity by learning about Autism, about the diagnosis, and about the students within our educational setting living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We promoted a respect for differences by recognizing differences within ourselves and shedding positive light on the idea of being unique. We focused on a positive and safe environment for all students by taking time to discuss how we have many characteristics that make us the same. We all have feelings and a desire to have friends. Let's show we are aware and celebrate Autism!
Four of Mrs. Huetter s students enjoyed lunch and games with Dr. Minnich and Dr. Sidle as a good behavior award. Their time was spent eating lunch and then the group enjoyed a spirited game of UNO Dare...where Dr. Sidle was dared to dance and to jump on one leg!! Fun was had by all!

Last month, a school staff member nominated Miss Cecelia Clouser for Central Penn Parent magazine s Caped Crusader award. We were very impressed with her selflessness and initiative in collecting winter items for the needy in our community. I am very happy to tell you that she has been chosen to be recognized as our May honoree! As such, she will be profiled in our May issue and in a piece on ABC27. Perpetuating the stereotype and having fun during PSSA testing at the middle school. Officer Frey and Tim Law keep the mood light.
