Mrs. Lee's Community Living class went to the Greenup IGA for their final. Students practiced finding items and comparing prices, and then they shopped for and purchased items from a list. They even had time to apply what they learned by practicing skills at the ATM. It was a great real-world learning experience!




Last week, the Spanish Club put their language skills and hearts into action! Students visited Cumberland Rehabilitation, Casey Health Care Center, and Heartland Nursing and Rehab.

That afternoon, students made an Ojo de Dios. ¡Qué día tan especial!
