Exceptional Children's Week - March 7-11th
Please join us and DCSD in celebrating Exceptional Children's Week, March 7-11, 2022. Each year, the District collaborates with the Council for Exceptional Children, a professional organization that promotes the advancement and education of all exceptional persons, to promote awareness and increase knowledge of the accomplishments of exceptional students and of the programs and services provided to students with exceptional needs. This year's theme is "Celebrating the Past, Committed to the Future: Cheers to 100 Years"! According to the Council for Exceptional Children, special education focuses on providing individualized education, related services, and specialized accommodations so that students with special needs make great strides, prepare for transition, and as a result, achieve academic and life-long personal success and independence.
At Peachtree this week, we began our Best Buddies Club. The program's main purpose is to promote one-on-one friendships between students with intellectual and developmental disabilities and those without a disability. Best Buddies is the world's largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with IDD. It is an international movement that has spread to over 54 countries world wide and we are excited to contribute to that movement at Peachtree.
You can also allow students to participate in the contest below. Click the image for the website with more information on where to submit.
