Students, families and staff gathered to celebrate the Spring Lake Park Schools’ Life Skills Transitions students at an end of the year celebration on Wednesday, June 5. Students were honored for their hard work throughout the year and six graduating students were presented with their diplomas.
"Being a part of a community that cares about students and staff makes me Panther proud."
"I personalize learning through technology in order to meet their unique goals, interests and needs of each of my students."
"The best part of my day is definitely seeing the kids reach that moment of discovery when their project really starts coming together, or when they discover a unique way to solve a particularly stubborn problem."
"I am #SLPPantherProud because the Spring Lake Park School community works extremely hard and is very committed to creating the best learning experience for all of our students."
"I strive to create meaningful and engaging lessons where students are able to see themselves as successful lifelong learners."
"The love I have for SLP is immeasurable."
