Bubbles for Autism

Giggles, cheers, and laughter filled the air, along with thousands of bubbles, at the Bon Air Elementary playground area Monday afternoon (April 22nd) as 531 students and staff joined a nation-wide effort to set a Guinness World Record for Autism Awareness by blowing bubbles.

Bon Air Elementary School students and staff were part of a national effort spearheaded by Faces 4 Autism, a non-profit organization in New Jersey, which wanted to spread hope to families and individuals with Autism by blowing bubbles.

“Smiles were in abundance on the faces of the students and staff as we enjoyed our sun-filled event outside blowing bubbles,” Mrs. Monica Schuck, who organized the event at Bon Air Elementary, said. “The bubble event was the first of a week-long of activities planned to help increase our students’ understanding of people with Autism.”

Mrs. Schuck, who is a special education teacher in the Autism support classroom at Bon Air, noted that April is Autism Awareness Month.
