Looking Toward the Future

The attached flyer is for LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE 2012, our annual Transition Information Fair for educators, families and self-advocates. Please pass this along to students, parents, and teachers who are interested in answering the question, "What's next?" Already, we have 30 vendors of services for adults with developmental disabilities confirmed. Break-out sessions on Guardianship, Finance Management, Waivers, Social Security Benefits, Supported Employment, and Post-Secondary Options are being planned now, and that schedule will follow shortly.

The event will be on Saturday, February 4th, 2012 at Marietta High from 9:30-2

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful visit to the Governor's Mansion today.  First Lady, Sandra Deal, greeted us and we presented her with the book, The Elf on the Shelf.  Next we toured the beautiful home.  Christmas decorations were EVERYWHERE!  A chorus and orchestra performed while we were there.  It was a fun time!

We Saw a Helicopter!

Today, a helicopter landed next door at Lovinggood Middle School.  We were invited to go over to see all of the excitement.  It was very loud and created a lot of wind.

Silver Comet Trail

What a great day we had on the Silver Comet Trail...we found all but one of the items for our scavenger hunt.

 

 

Hammond's Halloween Happenings

We had a fun celebration on October 31st...wearing the monster shirts that we'd made, we danced the "Monster Mash" and "Dance Like an Egyptian", then ate fun goolies!  Afterwards, we applied silly tatoos and wrapped each other up like mummies.

Helping Others

We had the opportunity to help Cobb County families who are in need of food for Thanksgiving.  Matthew, Tyler, and Chris brought money to shop at Kroger.  We found tomatoes, beans, and soup that were all on sale 5 cans for $3.  Chris chose beans, Tyler chose tomatoes, and Matthew chose chicken noodle soup.  When we got back to Hillgrove, they placed their contribution into the big blue barrels by the front office.  THANK you guys for sharing!

Home Depot and Arby's

We counted LOTS of pumpkins at Home Depot, then found all 16 items for our scavenger hunt.  Afterwards, we all enjoyed a well deserved lunch at Arby's.  Fixing our own soft drinks was a highlight, especially since they had free refills!

Marietta Square

Our scarecrow, Harriett Hillgrove, won honorable mention.  We had fun creating her!

Mr. Amica, our assistant principal, joined us at the Square.

We practiced crossing streets, looking around Eddie's Trick Shop, and seeing the locamotive.
