Comments on: What’s A Health School? http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2008/08/whats-a-health-school/ Welcome to the beautiful life Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:01:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: A Teacher http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2008/08/whats-a-health-school/#comment-117063 A Teacher Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:18:15 +0000 http://www.princeofpetworth.com/?p=3694#comment-117063 I work for DCPS and once attended a training at Sharpe Health (we really call it that). I went out in the hall and observed fleets of yellow school buses dropping off kids in wheel chairs. They appeared to have various disabilities and are educated there because of the severity of their condtions and the fact that the local schools are not equipped for them. I once met an aide who worked there. Part of her job was to change diapers on some of the students there. You gotta have a calling to work there.

There are a lot of students with a lot of needs at this school. There are also a lot of grandparents and other community members that help out at this school. I suggest to anyone who is interested in volunteering to look into it. It has been pretty rewarding and really makes me appreciate the little things I have to be thankful for.

If any PoP readers have any interest in devoting time to working with their students and helping the school in any way, please drop by the school office and introduce yourself to the principal (if any of you are free and in the neighborhood during any weekdays).

It is, as Christina said, for disabled children. What I know about it:

I'm not quite sure why "health" is in the name.... I believe that’s a school for children with cognitive and physical disabilities. I’m not quite sure why “health” is in the name….
