For all traditional program students at the dePaul School, music class, with a focus on the violin, happens once a week. In the delta program, students have the option to add the violin to their schedule after the school day.  

Utilizing one of our fantastic student's strengths! Water cooler was not working so we brought in this dyslexic young man who fixed it (he can fix anything!) -- figured out the problem and came up wth a solution! Way to go:)

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.
