Thinking About Each Other
Some students were concerned about other students who are
not able to drink from the water fountains in the high school
hall and G-3 floor in the dormitory. Occupational therapist
Anne Lenichek ordered several step stools from the Power
House to be built.
Oran Thorsen, who
works in
the WSD Power
House,
b u i l t
the step
stools
with the
assistance
of two high
school students. Nick Johnson nailed the stools
together with a hammer,
and
Leneta Meyer sanded the wood. The
stools then
were brought to Susan Dupor’s art classroom. Kim O’Reilly,
the substitute for Susan Dupor, who was gone on a leave, and
her two-dimensional art high school students painted the stools
with beautiful decorations during their free time. Students
painted flowers, a dog, a peace sign, a Superman logo, a moon,
a sun, and many other decorations on the stools.
Rene Ambrose mentioned that it was a great display of
teamwork by staff and students, who worked together for
the benefit of
other students. Most of the
time,
people
overlook the needs of
other
people
in the community and
in schools.
But this
time, some
students and
staff didn’t
overlook but rather supported other students
who needed assistance
by being respectful and
showing a caring attitude.
