Carlyle Elementary celebrates autism awareness day
On April 2, Carlyle Elementary School of the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) marked World Autism Awareness Day with an insightful program celebrating autism and raising awareness.
The event began with the official launch of Carlyle teacher Christina Mamagat’s (right) children’s book, Sometimes...but Always: A Look into the Spectrum, which offers a glimpse into the autism spectrum while celebrating individuality, fostering understanding and embracing the beauty of different perspectives.
Students then listened to LaurenHill Academy (EMSB) student and autism advocate Panagiotis Argiropoulos (middle), who shared his perspective and experiences. The program continued with a lively and engaging presentation by Steven Atme (left), who incorporated music throughout, playing the piano and actively involving the audience.
