Week of Change - Day 3- Dare to take a stand!
We are in the middle of our Week of Change disability awareness week. We have challenged you to Dare to Start acting differently as well as to Dare to be kind. We want to ask you to continue to start something that isn't quite popular in today's world. It's called standing up for others. You know how easy it is to stand up for yourself. Actually that may be hard for you. But watching someone else get made fun of, picked on, or humiliated has become one of the easiest skills for kids to learn. It's time to stop the charade. We laugh because it's not us. We laugh because we aren’t the target. And we say nothing because we don’t want to be the next victim. So yes, this year it is time for us to stand up for others. As we’ve said so far, we Dare you to do it.
