My son attends Johnson Street he is in the 4th grade and he has been there since kindergarden. He is in a life skills class and I love his teacher! She is over educated for this position but she loves these kids. She even makes home visits every so often (my son loves this) on her own time. There is a full kitchen in this class and they take about 50 field trips per school year. The kids have bowling, track and swimming leagues for the special olympics. i have seen his teacher gives advice to other life skill teachers on how to get more involved in the community. She does a great job at this!
