Last week I saw media on CTV National News as well as in some national newspapers about how schools in Ontario are sending home students who have special needs. Well that’s not how we do business in Alberta!! I have asked permission to share this picture of a young man in one of Wild Rose School Division’s grade 8 classrooms. When the grade 8 class were going to be travelling for their annual mountain climb it was the students who said “we won’t go without Brendon” who is a boy in their class with significant mobility issues. A special chair was found and through hours of carrying and pulling, Brendon made it to the top of that mountain. Look at the joy on his face when he is finally there. Amazing! A huge shout out to the teachers,teacher’s aids, administrator’s, parents and students that made this happen.
