Welcome to our very first publication, Inclusion: Raising The Ceiling, made possible by the "Inclusion Project" mini-grant (funded by the Virginia Department of Education) to promote and increase disability awareness in school communities.

Thanks to this grant, our goal is to showcase our exceptional students and their extraordinary talents, as well as their challenges and journeys towards inclusion.

We will also increase awareness of the range of capabilities, unique learning challenges, and the colorful personalities of our amazing students.

Students with exceptionalities will be assisting with the planning, creating, and publishing of this website newsletter as we provide opportunities for celebration and learning.

Please let us know how we are doing, improvements, ideas, and suggestions. As always, thank you for your continued commitment and support of our students, our neighbors.
