Today, Mr. Brett, one of our amazing paras, led our life skills students through a team-building activity focused on trial and error to strengthen their problem-solving skills.
Not only are our students learning and growing, but Brett is also continuing his own education, working toward a degree in special education to support students even more effectively! We’re so proud of the dedication of both our students and our paras!
A huge shout-out to our announcers from the past two weeks! We are so proud and impressed with the confidence, clarity, and leadership you bring to our mornings.
We also want to express our gratitude to everyone who helps make our Backpack Program a success each week. You make a real difference for our students and families.
And a special thank-you to our students who helped deliver bags last Friday.
Great job, everyone! 🦆🦆🦆
