Week of December 2, 2024
Fall is in Full Swing!

...or is it Winter? The rain finally came, and boy, did the temperature DROP—Brrrr!! Despite the change in weather, here's hoping everyone's Thanksgivings were fun and full of food, friendship, and family. So now begins the countdown to winter vacation—only three weeks away, and then we hunker down to prepare for winter's cold and busy end-of-year preparations. But before we get too fixated on the end of the month/year, there are a bunch of things going on this week and later this month that you'll want to keep your eyes on. See below for these upcoming events and activities. 

We would also like to acknowledge this Tuesday, December 3, as the United Nations' International Day of Persons with Disabilities for all our beloved ROCK STAR STUDENTS who light up our lives with their out of this world amazing-ness!

The theme for this year's IDPD is: "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future." According to the UN, this theme "emphasizes the importance of the participation of persons with disabilities in decision-making processes that affect their lives," which aligns nicely with the next Parent Workshop on Guardianship (coming in January).
