"Out of every disability comes an ability."

Dear Parents, Guardians and Community Members,

Lo que es una maravillosa presentación! That was a wonderful presentation!

Student representatives from all three schools helped Sr. and Sra. Ruiz present the new Elementary Spanish program to the Board of Education last night. Students showcased their newly learned skills by performing skits, reciting a Spanish tongue twister, and singing a Spanish song.

Last Friday, Warren School students and staff traveled to Bristol to visit the Imagine Nation Museum and Chapter 126 Sports & Fitness Center. The Early Primary and first-grade students took part in scientific activities and participated in hands-on exhibits and exploration. Grades two through six learned about empathy and disabilities at Chapter 126 Sports & Fitness Center. Students played basketball in wheelchairs. Students also played Beep-ball while blindfolded. Seann summed up the learning experience perfectly by declaring, "Out of every disability comes an ability."
