The Special Education PTA Troupe of The Kids on the Block performed for various M-W schools, helping students understand their emotions and where to seek help and encouraging them to embrace differences in one another. Following the performances, students had the opportunity to ask questions and engage with the puppets.
The Kids on the Block is a troupe of very likable puppets, with and without disabilities, designed to teach children about differences and similarities in people. The district has found this program very effective in communicating meaningful messages in an impactful, yet fun, way to younger students.
