Lutherville Families,
One of the beautiful opportunities and responsibilities of public education is to bring students together to understand differences in the human experience. This week was one where the team at Lutherville Lab shined in helping our students learn about one another.
This week our second grade students learned about two of their schoolmates who have Alopecea Areata from the students, their parents, Nurse Vita and Mrs. Kiewe. They had a chance to ask questions and learn about the condition. The students were respectful and inquisitive and understanding.
Also this week, our Kindergarten students had the chance to learn about Angelman's Syndrome, a neurogenetic condition that one of our wonderful Kindergarten students, Shea, has. They learned about how people with that condition struggle to make their body do what their brain asks of it and the ways adults at school and beyond support. The students asked great questions and were so engaged in learning about their schoolmate, Shea. Students and families will also have the opportunity to support Shea by joining Team Shea's Angels in the Angelman Syndrome Baltimore walk on May 20th.
Finally -- we had some unexpectedly late busses this week, which is understandably frustrating to families. We hope that future latenesses will be communicated promptly and wanted to share the BCPS Transportation Status site with the community.
A reminder that schools are closed on Monday and we have Hula for Hopkins on Friday evening of next week!
-Mr. McComb
