On March 2nd, several FCCLA members sported t-shirts to support the "Spread the Word, to End the Word. The purpose of this day was to raise an awareness for the useless use of the word "retarded" and the negative connotation associate with this word. Many members previously attended the National Special Olympics and gained an understanding that mentally and physically challenged individuals do not like that label when talking about their ability. Meredith Emshoff's FCCLA STAR project was the emphasis for this activity, as she brought an awareness for autistic individuals and the increased use of the word, retarded when identifying people with disabilities. Through her project, the student body was made aware of the characteristics of someone with autism and that society is so fast to label people, even if it is with the incorrect word.
