The United Nations declared Dec. 3 the International Day of the Disabled Person. Bristol-Myers Squibb, through their Differently-Abled Workplace Network (DAWN) awarded The Bridge Academy a $5,000 grant to support student safety.
This donation helped The Bridge Academy continue in-person instruction during the past school year, during which time they did not have a single COVID transmission, according to information provided by the Lawrence Township school.
While 1 in 5 children in the United States have learning and attention issues, only 1 in 50 public school students receive the proper accommodations for their disability, according to the statement.
