Temple Hill Academy Class Hosts Special Visitors for World Down Syndrome Day
Temple Hill 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Eden Weaver, and her class hosted some very special guests for World Down Syndrome Day on Tuesday, March 21st. The first special visitor was Mrs. Weaver's 14 month old daughter, Avi Jane Weaver, who was accompanied by her grandmother and great grandmother. Avi was born with Down Syndrome on January 1, 2022. Mrs. Weaver admits that before Avi's birth, she did not know much about people with Down Syndrome. She encourages her students to learn about people's differences to help facilitate ACCEPTANCE and INCLUSIVITY. Avi had all of Mrs. Weaver's scholars gushing over her sweet personality and adorableness.

The class's other special guest was none other than Muhammed Aayan. Aayan, is a 12 year old student that attends South Middle School. Aayan entered the room with his "I have a homie with an extra chromie" t-shirt and sunglasses on. His entrance was grand as he danced his way into the classroom. His smile and positive energy instantly brightened the room. He arrived with his parents who also contributed sweet treats for the class. His younger sister Arfah is a student in Mrs. Weaver's class. Arfah spoke on how much she loves her brother. She also shared with her classmates that Aayan is very loving and caring. He definitely displayed his infectious personality throughout the visit.
