There was a lot of activity today during recess at Garfield and Field Stevenson as students enjoyed the sunshine (while it lasts!)
Happy Halloween from D91!
Garfield staff proudly wore blue and yellow today in recognition of Down Syndrome Awareness Month!
This special day is about celebrating inclusion, kindness, and the unique gifts every individual brings to our school community. By wearing blue and yellow, our staff showed their support for students and families with Down syndrome and reinforced our commitment to creating a school environment where everyone belongs.
Thank you to all of our teachers, staff, and students who participated and helped spread such a powerful message of acceptance and love.
