Winter Brunch

Winter brunch is an event held by leadership for Special Education classes. We invite the classes for brunch, music, games and activities to celebrate the winter season together.

During the event, students cooked and served while other led dance parties and games.

Our class decided to hold the even in an open gym and was mindful as to how far apart tables were set up. Food servers took extra precaution and most things were adjusted to provide extra safety Everyone who was not eating kept their mask on and maintained
