We have a special treat for you coming up this December.  If any of you are interested, we will be visiting The New Children’s Museum on Thursday, December 3, 2009.  The field trip will be sponsored by Circle of Friends, so if you would like, you can come pick up permission slips from either Ms. Kramer or Ms. Hermosillo-Alcala starting tomorrow, Tuesday, November 10.  We will also have permission slips available at the next Circle of Friends meeting on Wednesday, November 18.

All of you who would like to come need to bring a signed permission slip to the bus at the South end of school.  Buses will be leaving at approximately 10:45, so you need to head over there at the end of your 3rd period class.  Make sure you inform us about your attendance at this field trip, because seats are limited.  Lunch will also be provided.

We hope to see a lot of you take advantage of this opportunity and we’ll see you there!

Just to give a quick description of the club, Circle of Friends is a lunchtime program that promotes friendships and social skills for special needs students, by pairing them with general education students. Not only do the students gain social skills, but friendships that become life changing experiences. The goal for Circle of Friends is to increase the availability for an inclusive environment to increase self-esteem, communication, and problem solving strategies that can improve the adult life.

Anyone interested in being a part of this great experience can come and meet us for lunch on Wednesdays in Room 447, or can talk to Ms. Kramer or Ms. Hermosillo-Alcalva in the Center of Science and Engineering to sign up.
