The time is flying by so fast. I guess time really does fly when you're having fun!
The community work exploration program (SWIP) is going well. We have added Walgreens, Greece; Stepping Stones Learning Center; and our friends, The Generosity Store. This has enabled us to place students in areas more aligned with their interests.
A special "Shout-out" goes to Walgreens. We have had students interning at the Henrietta Walgreens. The manager was very pleased with the program, so much so that when she was transferred to the Greece Store, she called and said she would like to begin a program there.
Walgreens is a great supporter of hiring persons with disabilities. Watch the film and see for yourself!
Parents, of the graduating students, are already firming up plans for their students once school ends. There are several definite placements. Students will have opportunities to try out their future plan, beginning in January.
We are always looking for new sites, if any one knows of a business that would allow us to place students (with a job coach), please let us know.
