Mars Area Centennial School will welcome “The Kids on the Block” program on Tuesday, May 28.

The puppet show, offered by The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh, will offer three skits focused on educating and inviting students to ask questions about different mental and physical disabilities. The program breaks down barriers, creates empathy, and provides an opportunity for students to better understand their peers with disabilities.

Teachers will be provided with supplemental activities to use with students throughout the year. For more information, visit www.amazingkids.org/Outreach-Programs/kids-on-the-block.
