The Daily Record - 5/25/2017

Elcey and Erynn Imhoff showed off their unique superhero costumes during registration at the first Autism Awareness Hero Run 5K on April 28. More than 60 individuals participated in or supported the event organized by Northwestern Local School’s A-Team, a multi-building committee that is working on a four-year strategic plan to work in conjunction with all teachers to share strategies and awareness regarding low-incidence disabilities. Signs posted along the run route gave interesting facts related to autism in order to provide education and awareness. Proceeds from the run will be used to create sensory tool boxes that teachers may check out to use within their classroom to assist students in learning. The A-Team is comprised of Paulette Agnes, Lisa Jackson, Amanda Jacobson, Megan Hottel, Laurie Humrichouser, Abbie Altenburger, Mat Schaefer, Joyce Bowman, Theresia McLean and Chris Sykes.
