Let's Do Lunch!

I had the good fortune of having lunch with one of our students today. He had selected my name from the Treasure Box:) I always enjoy these lunch dates as it keeps me connected with our students on a personal level. It also reminds me of how difficult their lives must have been in a traditional school setting. This student has auditory processing disorder (which often co-exists with dyslexia) which for him, results in distinct pauses throughout conversation as he processes what was said.

Congressman Charlie Crist Visits dePaul School

Couldn't be more proud of the Delta Students who exercised their rights as concerned citizens and wrote to their Congressman to voice their opinion regarding the Big Cat Safety Act. What a valuable lesson learned by these students about democracy and how our government works. Thank You Charlie Crist for taking the time to respond in person.
