Today students in Grades 3-12 had the privilege to meet Anthony Ianni over the course of multiple assemblies. Mr. Ianni's message is geared around his story of growing up with autism and overcoming bullies to become the first Division I basketball player with autism in NCAA history, playing for Coach Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans. The overall messages for the presentations are “Be careful what you say and do to others, because you never know who that person might become in the future,” and the message of “Don’t just go out and be the change, but go out and MAKE that change.” We greatly appreciated his message!
