Third Academy’s E1 Classroom was honored to welcome Samantha Kirby on World Autism Day, April 2, 2025. Samantha shared her remarkable book, My Purple Heart, a powerful and illustrative exploration of the lived experience of a child on the autistic spectrum. Her poignant reminder that “Ordinary doesn’t change the world” truly resonated with our students. We thank Samantha for bringing her important work to Third Academy.
