Dear Friends,

GOOD NEWS!! Thanks to the members and supporters of Team Tolerance, we raised a considerable amount of money to help support the Autism Project of RI during the 5th annual Imagine Walk and Family Fun Day, which was held on April 29th at Goddard State Park. Our district placed 2nd in the School Challenge...which is an amazing accomplishment for this newly formed team! In total, with the help of an amazing group of supporters, Team Tolerance raised $5,670.00, which will go to support the many incredible programs the Autism Project offers to support and educate individuals and families living with an autism spectrum disorder.

For placing 2nd, the Coventry Public Schools have the opportunity to send two staff memebers (including teachers & assitants) to each take part in a 9 week training class the project offers. These trainings offer valuable education in the area of autism spectrum disorders to better acquaint and educate those who work with students who are living with ASD and are educated in the Coventry Schools. Please assist us in choosing these individuals by emailing Cara Capalbo cac7545@aol.com with your suggestions and ideas based on need, desire and willingness to participate in these trainings during the Fall of 2007 at the Autism Project of RI in Cranston.

Thanks to everyone for your support and enthusiasm! Wait till next year!

Fondly,

Cara Capalbo & Kristen Abood
