LITTLETON--Littleton Chevrolet Buick Spon- sored Friend 2 Friend Programs at Lakeway El- ementary School in Little- ton. Burlington, Ver- mont-based nonprofit Pup- pets in Education (PiE) received funding from Littleton Chevrolet Buick to support a full day of Friend 2 Friend (Demys- tifying Autism) Programs at Lakeway Elementa- ry School in Littleton on Tuesday, March 25. The day of presenta- tions was greeted by a re- ceptive audience, inquisi- tive questions and a desire to receive the seven im- portant friendship tips to build empathy and under- standing between students on the autism spectrum and their typically devel- oping peers. In addition to support- ing this day of presen- tations, Littleton Chev- rolet Buick generously gifted ten 25” puppets to the school. The students cheered in delight when they saw the puppets! These puppets will allow students to continue their creative education and role-play pro-social and problem solving scenari- os. Puppets in Education is in its 32nd year serving over 10,000 children and adults annually through- out Vermont, New York and New Hampshire. PiE began as Kids on the Block-Vermont in 1982 with four puppets and has now grown to deliver 23 programs addressing many societal concerns, including bullying, abuse, childhood obesity, mental health, drug use and other topics.
