The Area School MOCI Transition class, consisting of 15- to 22-year-olds, celebrated Thanksgiving early with residents of Clare MediLodge by playing bingo and sharing homemade Thanksgiving cards. The young adults visited the MediLodge to deliver the cards they created and enjoyed socializing with the residents during a lively game of bingo. The event was a great success, with everyone having a wonderful time.
The class is already looking forward to returning in February to celebrate Valentine's Day. #OurStory #MOCI Transition #Area School #Community Excursions

As Thanksgiving approaches, Gladwin Intermediate Peer 2 Peer students are thankful for "minds" of all kinds. Third-grade students enjoyed coloring their own "brains," and fourth and fifth-graders interviewed each other to color their partner's "brain." Through these activities, students learned about each other's similarities and differences and grew their understanding that all brains think and learn differently. They discovered that all brains are unique and how much can be learned from appreciating each other's differences. The group also had a special moment when a brave neurodiverse student shared his singing talent! #CGRESD #OurStory #Peer2peer
Brandi Warner, Early On coordinator, is appreciated for her ability to think of ways to lift families and team members up. This week, the team wants to thank her for coordinating us for the Early On conference!
