Students host walk for autism at MCC-Longview
Inspired by a class project, one English class asked how they could do more.
What was only supposed to be a class project for one MCC-Longview English class has now blossomed into a Metro-wide fundraising Walk for Autism.
On Saturday, April 10, dozens of students from Casey Reid’s English class will be hosting a
mile-long walk at Longview as they raise money to help the Kansas City-based Sherwood Center, an autism education center that focuses on programming and classes.
“Our assignment was to write about something in our lives. One student wrote about his son
and how he was growing up with autism,” student organizer Jessica Rushton said. “From there we all decided we wanted to do something to help.”
The public is invited to walk with students to help raise money for the Sherwood Center.
