Community Activities

Parents and colleagues,
 
Following Travolta's well attended and received presentation last night at the Parent Support Group, I found out that some people who were not able to attend would still like the information of the upcoming workshops for both enrichment and pre-vocational transitional opportunities.  In addition, I have attached information about a wonderful event at Rabobank for your family.  Please find all attached.
