Mrs. Placido's class at Manchester Township High School (MTHS) has not only been busy launching The Hawk's Perch Cafe but also preparing to present at the New Jersey Department of Education’s Office of Special Education (OSE) Dare to Dream Student Leadership conference!
Students in the MTHS transition class traveled to Stockton University yesterday to attend and host a breakout session at the state's regional event. This incredible opportunity and experience brought together high school students with disabilities to highlight strategies to promote self-advocacy skills.
Their student-led workshop session titled "Power in Me: Discovering Our Strengths" was a big hit. MTHS students proudly helped attendees through a presentation and group activity, providing them with the sense of empowerment and encouragement that Mrs. Placido's class learns at MTHS every day.
Way to live out our school district's motto, Excellence by Example, in this way!
