Healthy Snacks: Halloween Treats!

Math Madness: Graphs, Lines, & Designs

This year we’re learning about graphs in our Math Madness class. We are practicing using the ruler, plotting points on a graph, and connecting the points to create different designs.

K9 Presentation

Concord Police Department came to our school last week and gave a K9 presentation to the Adults with Disabilities programs. We were able to see demonstrations of how the police dog searches for drugs and protects the police officer from an attacker. After the presentation, the police officers answered our questions and passed out stickers.
Many thanks to Concord PD!
