Today we are celebrating Spread the Word Day! 💙
Mrs. Swain’s class and Mrs. Wade’s class teamed up to create a poster that represents inclusion. Spread the Word is a global movement that empowers youth to take meaningful inclusive action—one pledge at a time.
Together, we are sharing and promoting kindness throughout our school.

🌎 Let’s Celebrate Inclusion on Wednesday, March 4!
What does inclusion look like?
It’s a high five in the hallway.
A compliment to a classmate.
Saying hello to someone new.
For individuals with intellectual disabilities, inclusion isn’t just important — it’s essential for belonging and acceptance.
On Wednesday, March 4, give a high five, offer a compliment, or simply say hi to someone new. Let’s make inclusion visible across Wakulla County Schools.
Students can sign the Pledge for Inclusion at their school and commit to choosing kindness, respect, and acceptance.
