October Menasha Employee Spotlight: Brittany! 🌟

Join us in celebrating Brittany, one of our dedicated Direct Support Professionals at Chileda's Menasha Learning Center!

Since joining the Chileda team, Brittany has enjoyed getting to know each student and their unique personalities, strengths, and challenges. She approaches each day knowing that every child is different and strives to meet students where they are.

One of the most rewarding parts of her role has been watching students learn to self-advocate while building important life skills. Brittany also enjoys learning new ways to communicate with students using AAC devices, visual supports, and sign language, helping every child find their voice.

Thank you, Brittany, for helping our students learn, grow, and thrive!

🍧 Yesterday was a sweet day at our Menasha Campus!

Our students and staff enjoyed Kona Ice and spent time together outside in the beautiful 70-degree October weather. We also celebrated a special birthday, giving everyone a chance to gather, enjoy a cool treat, and make the most of a sunny fall afternoon.

πŸ‚πŸ“Έ A look inside our classrooms this fall.

Our students have been keeping busy with classroom activities, hands-on learning, and working toward their individual goals. Throughout the day, they're practicing everyday skills, participating in group activities, completing schoolwork, and celebrating achievements along the way.

Here are a few snapshots of what our students have been up to lately.

✨ We loved being part of last Thursday's Torchlight Parade! Thank you to everyone who marched with our float and brought so much energy, enthusiasm, and pride to the evening. And to everyone who gave us a wave along the route, thank you for making the night even more memorable. We were proud to be part of the celebration!
