Students and staff at Penn Valley Elementary School celebrated the conclusion of their school's Autism Acceptance Spirit Week with a popping good time!

All week, students took part in activities to celebrate the unique characteristics that make children with autism so special and treasured, including creativity, individuality and their singular talents.

Students also learned about some of the challenges their friends with autism may face, and how to be understanding and inclusive. 

On Friday, students from all grades formed the shape of an infinity symbol on the back field and then had a grand time blowing bubbles -- each of which is unique just like the students. Some of the teachers had GIANT bubble-makers, which added to the fun!

Autism Acceptance Spirit Week is an example of how the Lower Merion School District works to build a sense of belonging for all students and staff. #LMSDBuildingBelonging.
