From Fair Lawn to Oakland, Alexa's journey has been filled with unconditional love, unwavering support, and amazing progress over the last 8 years.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to everyone who helped make our middle school dance performance, Moana, such a wonderful success.
A very special thank you to Jennifer Sepulveda for sharing her passion and love of dance with our students and for stewarding this beautiful show alongside her co-teacher, Amanda Trott. Your creativity, dedication, and hard work were evident in every moment of the performance, and our students truly shined because of your efforts.
Thank you as well to all of our teachers, therapists, teaching assistants, private duty nurses, and technology coordinator for your unwavering commitment and support throughout rehearsals and the performance itself. Your teamwork and encouragement helped create a meaningful and joyful experience for our students.
The parents thoroughly enjoyed the event and were so pleased and grateful to have the opportunity to watch their children perform. It was truly a special celebration of our students’ talents, confidence, and growth.
Thank you all for helping create such a memorable experience for our school community.

The M.O.V.E. program (Movement Opportunities and a Variety of Experiences) has become a wonderful tradition here! For 30 minutes a week, our students work one-on-one to address their unique movement, sensory, social, and educational needs. Whether they are diving right into the action or observing first to build up their confidence, M.O.V.E. is all about being an active participant in a fun, supportive environment.
All of our students did an amazing job at the Expo, and it was so special to see parents and siblings join in on the fun to help out!
