ESU 16 School Psychologists had a blast visiting the OWLS Program. It was community day so we worked out, made a Easter door decoration, had a pizza day where they got to order delivery for the first time, and watered the plants at the greenhouse for their upcoming plant sale in May! Laurie & Ashlie are doing such a wonderful job teaching these wonderful students job and life skills. Way to go OWLS!!!!

Wishing Board Member Bill a very Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day!

UDL in Early Childhood happens! This quick easy breathing strategy sticks to the table so young children can use it to help calm themselves when upset, to keep their focus and attention, or to get the sensory input they need.
