Kirk School recently welcomed alumni back for a special evening of music, dancing, laughter, and connection at our Alumni Dance!

Events like the Alumni Dance are a wonderful reminder that the relationships built at Kirk continue long after students leave our programs. Our alumni will always be an important part of the NSSEO family, and we are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate them and the journeys they continue to build.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening possible and to all of our alumni who came back to celebrate with us!

Kirk School students recently partnered with the Knights of Columbus - Palatine for their annual Tootsie Roll Drive, collecting donations at local Jewel and Walgreens locations.

This hands-on experience gives our students valuable opportunities to practice civic engagement, build vocational skills, and connect with their community, all while supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

A big thank you to the Knights of Columbus, KOC Holy Ghost Council #4977, for this wonderful partnership! We look forward to continuing to make a difference together!
