Going to West...Hot Dog Roast

WEST HIGH

I went with a group of special ed students from the Middle School up to West High to meet the teachers, get to see the school and meet their fellow students. I am so very humbled....words just can't express it. How grateful I am and should be for what I have and what I don't. We often take for granted the little things, I know I do, but seeing the students there with so many simple daily challenges is extremely humbling. It makes my "hard" days seem miniscule in comparison. There are several kids that Mckelsie will continue going to school with, as 10 from Northwest will be going up to West with her. The teachers all seem very nice however I'm really going to miss Mckelsie's teacher and aides so much. They have been such an amazing influence, mentor, friend and teacher to both Mckelsie and I. I feel so blessed to have had such good people caring for my daughter. People that truly care for her education, well being and most importantly her self confidence. They have been a tremedous infulence in developing her self confidence and for that I'll always be grateful.
