World Dwarfism Day

Every year on October 25, World Dwarfism Awareness Day celebrates Little People. The celebration of this day is special to SAM as we have two students with Achondroplasia as members of our school community. This morning we are having a school-wide assembly led by Mrs. Maxwell and the two students. Like all people, they prefer to be called by their names and not a label. We encourage you to look through the resources linked below to answer any questions your children may have:

The Understanding Dwarfism – Place for Kids website is an amazing resource. There is an online storybook, colouring pages and frequently asked questions.
