SAC students celebrate Halloween
By Dwayne Codding
Last Friday night was a very important night for some raiders here on campus. Our school hosted a Halloween dance for the Special Abilities Cluster(SAC) students, this now being the 8th SAC dance held in our school.
The Special Abilities Cluster is a comprehensive, integrated program meeting the needs of students with developmental disabilities. SAC's mission statement is to add a meaningful dimension to the lives of students who are developmentally disabled by providing opportunities for socialization and recreation experiences within the community.* So this program provides the educational, recreational, and social opportunities for this group of students.
This dance was held in the girls' adaptive room from 9:30 to 11:30 on Friday, and it involved students from various schools in our southern neighborhood. This included Mar Vista Middle and High, Montgomery Middle and for the first time ever, Montgomery High. Also, beyond high school and middle school students, transition(graduates at ages 19-22) students are invited as well.
These events are eagerly looked forward to, since SAC students meet together mostly through parties like this one, as well as picnics and other events. Otherwise they only really see each other during summer school, and that can be a long wait!
