Roosevelt Alexander Elementary: The New R-Word is RESPECT!

March 22, 2010 — March 3, 2010 was the second annual day of awareness for America to stop and think about their use of the R-word. In honor of our children with disabilities, Special Olympics and Best Buddies International, RAE Special Buddies took a stand to raise awareness of the hurtful effects of the R-word. Their hope is to encourage others to think before they speak and educate their peers about how using the R-word supports a negative stereotype.Â
