On Wednesday, October 10th, representatives of the Tourette Syndrome Association (insert names) along with members of the TSA Youth Ambassador Program presented What is Tourette Syndrome to our 5th and 6th grade students and staff. Youth Ambassadors, Jared and Tyler Bloch taught our students about this prevalent medical condition that affects many children and adults. The program included a presentation of the facts, symptoms, and myths about TS. Jared and Tyler also led the students through an activity that simulated what its like to live with TS. One of our courageous Willets Road students also presented and answered questions about his experience with TS. I am so proud of our students for their sense of interest in understanding TS and the compassion they expressed in helping people with this condition.
