Washington Center student Adorrious Dunlap is assisted by Para-Educator Karimah Morris during a community-based Instructional bowling trip.
On behalf of Washington Center, teachers Samantha Stansell, Erin Sosebee, and Elizabeth Piper, left to right, deliver donated Teddy bears to Missie Townsend, far right, with the Children's Hospital of the Greenville Health System. These bears will be given to children before they go into surgery.
Communication is also a huge skill that is practiced on bowling trips. Students are able to communicate their snack choices and needs through tactile picture symbols and voice output devices.
These experiences give the students a chance to practice classroom skills in a real life setting.
Washington Center donates Teddy bears to Children's Hospital
Teddy bears donated from the Washington Center were taken to the Children's Hospital to give to the children right before they go into surgery.
During the holidays, these Teddy bears were decorations on the Teddy bear-themed Christmas tree at the Festival of Trees at the Hyatt downtown Greenville.
Ms. Piper's, Mrs. Stansell's, and Mrs. Sosebee's classrooms asked the faculty at the Washington Center to give new Teddy bears to put on the Christmas tree along with Teddy bear ornaments created by the students. Washington Center donated the 26 new Teddy bears to the Children’s Hospital of the Greenville Health System.
