A Message from the Executive Director - September 7, 2010

GREAT STAFF, GREAT SCHOOL!

The Colorado Department of Education completed their audit of Laradon’s Alternative School program last Friday. They commented on what a stable and positive environment is being provided to students. Our focused staff are providing great learning opportunities and involvement. I am very pleased with our staff for being so creative with the development of special activities that are meeting the unique needs and challenges of our students. I applaud our school, staff and students, for their dedication and hard work.

HOST HOME PARTY

The Adult Residential Services program hosted their annual Host Home Party at Lakeside this year. Everyone had a great time riding the rides and spending time with other Host Home Providers and friends. This is a great program that provides residential services to adults with developmental disabilities and other special needs. We are always looking for caring new Host Home Providers. If you are interested in becoming a Host Home Provider and sharing your home with a person in need, click here to view our webpage for more information and the application process.

If you or someone you know is enrolled in our Alternative School or Adult Residential Services program and have a great story to share, we would love to hear it. Please post your comments.

Later this week, we will host Laradon’s annual reception for the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks’ National President. The Colorado Elks Association’s State President, officers and other dignitaries will attend the luncheon. It is certainly our honor to showcase Laradon to a very important organization that devotes their time and efforts to charity.

Coming Soon! Laradon’s 2nd Annual Bake Sale.

Last year’s Bake Sale was a huge success and this year we are planning to have a craft fair as well. Stay tuned to our website’s Media & Events pages for more details on the Bake Sale & Craft Fair and other upcoming events.
