On October 16 and 17 presenters from the Cromwell Disabilities Center will be visiting Consolidated and working with our 3-5 grade students.  The Cromwell Center offers three sequential classroom based curriculum/presentations that reinforce the basic lessons and experiences for students on disabilities through subsequent years of participation.

• Inclusion is everybody's business
• Disabilities affects us all
• Realization that individuals with disabilites have talents and skills
