Wear Green on October 22 for Phelen-McDermid Syndrome Awareness Day
On Tuesday, October 22nd, we will celebrate Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Awareness Day at Cushing by wearing green. Phelan-McDermid Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that involves chromosome 22, and can make learning, talking, and growing look a little different for some people. It’s extra special for us to recognize this day because someone in our own Cushing community has Phelan-McDermid Syndrome.
When we wear green, we show kindness, care, and support for our classmates, friends, and families—both here at Cushing and all around the world.
So don’t forget: wear green on October 22nd to show your support!
School Counseling News
We are finding ways to bring in problem solving opportunities into all areas of our school, including recess, class time and specials. The Solution Spot on the playground (featuring Kelso the Frog) gives students a fun, clear way to practice the problem-solving skills they’ve been learning with their teachers and our school counselor, Ms. Walker. They’ve even seen these strategies reinforced in specials like art, gym, and PE—helping build consistency across our school.
