Stepping Stones School kicked off the month of April with a staff-sponsored feast for the combined Primary and Primary Plus classrooms to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. The school also observed Autism Awareness Month, enjoyed festive Passover and Easter activities, and welcomed performers from Paper Mill Playhouse, who showcased “A Year with Frog & Toad” at the school. Children and staff also enjoyed a well-deserved rest during their Spring Break before returning to their classrooms. Preparations are well underway for end-of-year celebrations in June.

The Arc of Essex County’s Stepping Stones School is a Department of Education-approved private school for students with disabilities.
