The 2016-2017 school year was quite successful in Mr. Watson’s and Mr. Kostas’ classroom. This year, we introduced individual and group art therapy for our students as an additional resource for transferable skills and an outlet for creativity. Also, we read the novel Unwind, a science fiction book for young adults by Neal Shusterman. Further, we went on various field trips throughout the school year to promote social, emotional, and academic growth.
We started the school year with 5 students and grew to 9 students by the end of the year! We watched 3 of our students move on to bigger and better things in their post-high school endeavors. We are proud to have had 2 high school graduates and 1 student reintegrate into their home school full-time. Mr. Watson and Mr. Kostas are looking forward to the 2017-2018 school year and hope it will be as successful as the 2016-2017 year.
