Our Behavior Team had a team builder before their meeting on Tuesday. They had to build a tower with notecards and could not communicate verbally. One group did much better than the other. 😊

Last night, a few of our basketballers teamed up with our Roosevelt Best Buddies to play against the Hoover Huskies Unified Team. Great sportsmanship was shown by both teams and lots of fun was had!

Yesterday some of our Merrill Middle School Best Buddies joined us for a few of our classes. Our students always love it when they get to spend time with their peers. We look forward to having them come back soon!

A few of our Viking Basketball players along with a few Best Buddies from Roosevelt joined forces for some basketball last night at the halftime of Lincoln’s girls basketball game. It was a wonderful experience!

Our Phones and Internet are currently down. This happened earlier today and we do not know when service will be up and running again. There is apparently a large area of Des Moines affected.
