The Best Buddies club went on a tour of Acrisure Stadium. They viewed the locker rooms, walked on the field, and browsed the gift shop. View replies for two additional photos.

Today we celebrate the incredible impact of our @BWSDNews speech-language pathologists who help students find their voice, strengthen communication, and access the world around them in meaningful ways each and every day. Your work changes lives far beyond the classroom.

Students wear blue today for Apraxia Awareness Day.

On Apraxia Awareness Day, we recognize the strength, determination, and voice of individuals with apraxia. Communication looks different for everyone, and every voice deserves to be heard and celebrated 💙

Amazing things are happening at HMS...Students harvested fresh spinach grown in their school garden. To make the connections from seed to table, students were able to enjoy the taste of fresh spinach and radishes in a delightful salad at lunch today. 😀

Powerful way to begin the 13th Annual Disability & Mental Health Summit with opening keynote remarks from Mayor O'Connor.

Important conversations, shared learning, and advocacy are a continued reminder that inclusion, access, and mental wellness matter in every community.

Happy School Nurse Day to the incredible @BWSDNews nurses who care for our students far beyond band aids and ice packs. Thank you for being calm in emergencies, comfort in hard moments, advocates for kids, and trusted supports for families. Our schools are better because of you.

Love seeing moments like this—when @BHSActivities students lead, connect, and create something bigger than themselves. This is what it’s all about 💜

Appreciate the support from @SenPisciottano in lifting up work that matters.

.@BWSDNews is only high school in Allegheny County that offers classes in ASL. I recently dropped by Ms. Graney's ASL II class to see the students in action. They taught me a few signs and I learned just how important this program has become to Baldwin High School.
