Linden Public Schools Celebrate Special Education Week
Linden, NJ - Last week, to celebrate Special Education Week, Linden Public School No. 2 read the story "Just Ask! Be Brave, Be Different, Be You", and discussed how everyone is unique and special. Students created this visual display titled "Our Garden is Diverse", showing the beauty in differences. The display featured colorful flowers, each representing a different student in the class, with their names written on the petals.
