During our character education assembly today, where we learned about citizenship, Nancy Graham from the SPCA spoke to students with a special friend-- Kenya the dog. Kenya was all too happy to accompany her human as she spoke about the responsibility, caring, and compassion needed for pet ownership.
In addition, members of the "Let's Unite" club at Stonehedge presented a check for more than $500 to the CNY SPCA. The donation was raised through the recent Pennies for Paws drive.

Stonehedge Lit it Up in Blue for Autism Awareness Day
Students and staff at Stonehedge were encouraged to wear blue today to honor World Autism Awareness Day. According to the website, World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), celebrated each year on April 2, was adopted by the United Nations in 2007 to shine a bright light on autism as a growing global health crisis. Autism is one of only three health issues to be recognized with its own day by the United Nations. WAAD activities increase world knowledge of autism and impart information about the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention. Additionally, WAAD celebrates the unique talents and skills of persons with autism around the world.
Stonehedg Blue Team supports Autism Awareness. Clockwise from Principal Keevil (left rear), Mrs. Colburn, grade 1; Miss Scheutzow, grade 2; Mrs. Farrella, Blue Team Secretary; and second grade students Maxx Fesinger and Jack Wade.
Just a reminder that we are on Spring Break from tomorrow (Friday, April 3) through Friday, April 10. School resumes on Monday, April 13. Enjoy the break and hopefully we'll get some nice spring-like weather!
