Hello!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Parent Orientation on Friday.  We had a good turn out, and hope that we gave enough information about our class without being too overwhelming!

This past Saturday we saw the Jungle Book for our 7th Weekend Activity.  It was a fun time!  Next year, we will move our movie location from Fairlane to the new theater at Southland Mall – I’ve heard it’s awesome!  🙂  We have two more activities to go before the end of the year.  In May we will try to go play miniature golf (weather permitting), and in June we will be having a family day at Turtle Cove.

I’m so excited to announce that we will be offering a Self Defense for Students with Disabilities class again this year.  Mr. Tank will be here May 3, 5 and 10th, from 9:00-10:30 a.m. to provide this training for our students.  Mr. Tank is a friend of mine from high school, and has owned several karate schools. He has been involved with karate for over 30 years.   He loves working with our students and is volunteering his time to do this.  He is truly wonderful with our students, and the students adore him.  This year, we are opening this opportunity up to parents as well.  If you would like to attend, you are more than welcome to come on one or all three days. Please just confirm with me that you will be attending so I can make sure we have enough space.

Please note:  Due to unforeseen circumstances, the bowling activity scheduled for April 29th is cancelled.

Reminder:  Students who bring electronics to school are welcome to do so, however, please remember we share this classroom with an afterschool tutoring class every night and other programs during the weekend.  We cannot be responsible for lost/stolen items.  Students are encouraged to keep these belongings in their back packs when they are not in use.  If they are left on a desk over night, they might end up missing.
