Happy Thanksgiving
Congrats to these 2 amazing educators for all they do to advocate for all our students! We recognized and celebrated both of them at our 1st ever Silent Assembly! Yes, instead of blaring music that is sometimes too much for some of our most amazing students, we taught our students how to celebrate using ASL! Silent hands waving all over!🫶🏼🙌🏼 Ms. Garofalo- Special Ed Teacher - She has been an amazing addition to our staff! Her heart is so huge for our students! She is such a team player and has the patience of a saint! She shows up daily with a smile on her face and a positive attitude! Ms. Scott- OT/PT - She is such a supportive part of our students success! Sometimes OT/PT feels like just a separate service, but Ms. Scott is one of us and part of our SCJ Family! She is always offering assistance to all of our students! She is always willing to support our staff with additional resources or services! Thank you both for your incredible service and passion for our students!🚌🛶💙💛#KeepOnRowing
