Our exceptional students from LES and PLE had a great field trip on Friday! Students kicked off the day exploring the Science in Play2Go exhibit at the Garrard County Public Library. Next, they visited Burger House, where they practiced their communication and social skills by ordering their own meals, using a specially designed communication-friendly menu. The menu was donated to assist future friends with communication needs. A great day of learning and growth!🍔🍟
