Go Blazers!
Thank you for participating in the 8th annual Bingo Night!


All Abilities Day
 Friday, February 8th 
 
On this day, our Bathgate students will have an opportunity to "walk in someone else's shoes". They will visit several "stations" where they will experience various disabilities first hand, such as such as an ADHD station where they experience what it's like to have focus challanges. The students will have fun while learning to be more understanding of others.

!!!VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!
 
This is a one day event. To help make this day possible, the PTA needs your help.  
 
We need parent volunteers to be the "demonstrator" for each station and facilitate the activity and discussion for that station. We will provide a script, and specific "props" and materials for each station. There will be two stations for Kinder/1st Grade, and four stations for Grades 3-5. 

 Please click here to see the teacher/class times.The time commitment for this is between 36-48 minutes. 
 
 You can sign up for multiple times, but only 1 station per time. Example: Sign up for mobility station from 8:15-9:30, then 9:15-10:30. Not, Mobility station from 8:15-9:30 & Speech station from 8:15-9:30.
