Every year, the Special Education Needs Support Centres celebrate Special Education Needs Week. The theme, “Different Abilities, One AIM: Acceptance, Integration, Mentorship, ran from 2019 to 2021. This year, the focus was on Integration.
The week was observed from Sunday 2nd to Friday 7th February. Planned activities included all students from the various Primary and Secondary Support Centres. These activities included a joint assembly, a field trip to the Heritage Museum, an organized Sport Day and a trip to St. Maarten.
In addition to the joint activities, each Centre also organized its own activities. Students from the Adrian T. Hazell Primary visited Anguilla Sands and Salts, in South Hill, where they met with the proprietor, Mr. Josveek Huliger (Jo), who gave a brief demonstration on how to make a necklace using his famous pendants filled with sand.
The final activity of the week was a trip to Triangles Pizza on the Blowing Point Road. There, the students made their own pizza after being taught by the owner, Mrs. Julianne Gumbs.
The week was indeed a wonderful week as students were excited to explore and learn new task and enjoy new experiences.
Heartfelt gratitude is extended to everyone who made these experiences a reality.
