-Did you know that according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control) that Autism is one of the fastest growing developmental disabilities?
-Autism is more than 4.5 times more common among boys. The CDC estimates 1 in 42 boys have Autism and 1 in 189 for girls.
-Parents of a child with Autism, have a 2-18% of a second child having Autism, as well as children born to older parents.
-Most children diagnosed with Autism have an average to above average intellectual ability.
-Families with a child who has Autism, have medical expenditures of $4,000-$6,000 above a family without. In addition to medical bills, families can have additional costs associated with behavior interventions, lost wages of a parent, counseling, and special education.
Please support Parents that have children with Autism through the time, and educational supports that you can provide.

We had a fun walk-through our bodies with the Body Venture. The elementary rotated through different parts of our bodies, while the high school students explained what each part does.
The High School KAY organization is again doing Pennies for Patients, March 5-15. Classrooms will collect students pennies and the elementary class with the highest total will win a party of their choice. If the high school reaches an overall goal of $150 then the 1st hour with the highest totals will get donuts and juice. Please feel free to email Mrs. McGann with any questions you have.
Tomorrow, Tuesday March 6th, the Mission Valley Elementary will be participating in the Kansas State Department of Education program Body Venture. Body Venture consists of:
a 45-foot by 50-foot walk-through exhibit representing the human body.
Stations and lessons throughout the exhibit
a take-home book for students to read with their families
Students tour the human body exhibit with Power Panther graphics as a guide. Throughout the exhibit, students will learn how to apply Power Panther's motto: EAT SMART. PLAY HARD.
All students will need socks to participate in the exhibit tomorrow. We are excited for this opportunity for our students and look forward to Body Venture tomorrow.
