Quick note
Staff Training
The past few days have been full of trainings and learning opportunities. We are actively working on strategies to help our students to gain the most out of their daily learning. One of the trainings we participated in was about the deaf and blind. This was a great opportunity to feel and see things that we can implement for our students. Here are a few pictures of our staff experiencing being blind, with folds on and lead around by another person.
Adapted Athletics
Middle School, Secondary and lighthouse had the opportunity to participate in the Adapted Athletic Volleyball event. This is an opportunity to connect with fellow students from other schools. The students love getting to be part of the team and have fun.
Dickens Carolers
We are so lucky the Dickens Carolers come and sing songs for our kids! This has become a fun tradition at Fletcher Miller.
Holiday Market
In the season of giving Elementary decided to put together a Holiday market. Students and staff created items to sell and then got an opportunity to purchase a gift with Mustang bucks for their family, friend or bus driver. Their were staff that wrapped the presents for the students. This was a great opportunity to see people interested in the product they made and to buy something for someone they care for. What a fun time!
Lighthouse Paras
We would like to take the moment to highlight our Lighthouse Paras. Our Paras spend everyday making sure the students are learning, happy and cared for. We appreciate their enthusiasm every day!
