Dear Parents,

This Friday, October 25th, from 6 pm – 9 pm, we will have our first student organized Nightrageous event of the 2019-2020 school year. This event’s theme is Sports related with the option to wear Halloween costumes. The students spent several days during their Social Activities class planning the event, creating the décor, and deciding which activities were going to happen in each room.

 

Décor for the event included meticulous planning and organizing on our students’ behalf as to what and where the items will be hung or shown. Art work from various students will be hung in the art room as well as in the hallways. Fun lights will be outside hanging on the swings as well as surrounding the sports activities in the field to illuminate the night.

 

Our students decided on various concession items during the planning of Nightrageous such as having a popcorn, so-cone and cotton candy machine. During a student conducted survey over the course of a couple of weeks, James Coney Island was selected as the winner for the main course of the night along with cookies for dessert.

 

Activities that were chosen by our students for Nightrageous included having sports-themed video games, movies, and watching the Astros/Nationals game all in separate rooms. Students also decided that sport activities in the field such as dodgeball and soccer were in order for the evening as well.

 

We are all excited for our first student planned Nightrageous event of this school year! Our students have worked extremely hard planning this fun-filled event!

The Positivity Project - Open-Mindedness

This week's social skill was open-mindedness. The students talked about keeping an open mind and looking at situations from different perspectives in Social Skills class. In Social Activities, the students worked on an activity where they had to follow directions on a drawing and at the end of the directions, they shared their drawings with each other. They saw not only the differences but the similarities.

Our residential two-year core program has the goal of building key skills necessary for independence. The immersive nature of the program creates an environment where the student uses information in a real-world environment as the learn. The repetition and immediacy create more permanent and well anchored results.
