Amazing Things Happen!

Our full name is Journey School for Uniquely Gifted and Talented. To us, this is more than a tag line or a sentimental saying. We believe from the bottom of our hearts that EVERY human is created with purpose and power. We believe in EVERY human’s ability to create, communicate, celebrate, and contribute to their community. And we believe in and support ALL of the different ways and forms communication exists. Our goal is never to speak “for” anyone else, but to come alongside and empower one another to use each of our own important voices.

And in the words of a mom of one of our students- “Being aware of something isn’t enough. Acceptance is better. Inclusion, immersion, and celebration of neurodiverse individuals is where we hope we all land.”

So today, on the first day of “Autism Awareness Month” we challenge you to listen to voices who are different from your own. To read resources and to move past awareness into identifying what full acceptance and celebration can look like in YOUR life. To see and love with a deeper and wider perspective. It's a journey, but we promise you its worth it. 💙

This Saturday we had students from our Explorers class compete alongside their teammates from All Nations Community School at the Santa Fe VEX IQ Rise Above Robotics Tournament. They all did incredible and worked so well with their teams! We are so thankful for the ConocoPhillips Rice University AMP! Innovation Grant for making all of this possible!

One week ago today was our 2nd Annual Shoot for the Stars Sporting Clay Fundraising Tournament at Blackwood Gun Club! We want to say a huge thank you to all who came out and shot with us and supported Journey School! We were so encouraged by the turn out and had an incredible day together. Congratulations again to all our shooting and raffle winners!

Today's we're celebrating our 100th day of school!!!!! Our Mariners class has been diligently counting each today and today they finally got to make crowns to commemorate! We continue to be so thankful to spend our days here together 💛
