Summer School is flying by. It’s hard to believe that July is almost over.



It has been an exciting summer for Transition. The community internship program has continued. There are students at JoAnn Fabrics, Walgreens, The SSJ Mother House, Stepping Stones and Thrifty Shopper. In addition to the community sites, students are working in Food Service through the student lunch program, washing cars, gardening and some students are learning about clerical work.

Another very exciting program that is running this summer is Junior Achievement, http://www.ja.org/ Holy Childhood has been chosen to pilot a Junior Achievement Program for students with developmental disabilities. Joan Michaelree and Diane Gyle have been working, since January, with local representatives of Junior Achievement to choose curriculums and lessons appropriate for our students. There are presently two classes, one group is learning about the community and the other class is studying work. Kevin Judge, Sue LoCoco, Maria Carrone and Gabriella Rood have graciously volunteered their services to teach the lessons. Beth Looby and Laura Parmiter are the two supporting teachers.


There are other exciting things on the horizon. Check back to keep up on what’s happening!
