This year, West Chicago District 33 will be partnering with FAIR625 to hold its first All

Abilities Fair on November 30th-December 9th. FAIR625 is a program that helps to foster

Acceptance, Inclusion, and Respect through an immersive education program. The day

will highlight both the strengths and differences that our students possess, and how they

all can enrich our community.

Through children’s literature, the All Abilities Fair, and classroom discussion, we will offer

our students' time to reflect on their experience of the world and how this

may vary from others' experiences. Thinking of the many ways people are

different, whether classmates, people in our communities, or even celebrities, can help

to foster acceptance.

This year at the fair, the students will engage in hands-on activities to learn more about

fine motor challenges, visual impairments, learning differences, emotional regulation, and sensory processing. This day will serve as a pilot in hopes of hosting an All Abilities

Fair annually at all (enter school district name here) schools.

We are excited for this opportunity and look forward to supporting all our students!

As part of this opportunity, we are promoting this event by selling Choose to Include t-shirts to support Inclusion within our schools. Staff and students who decide to purchase a shirt can wear it on the day that their school has the fair.
