Happy American Education Week!

🐾Mrs. Schade and Mr. Boigenzahn have spent the last two days learning and networking at the WI Special Education Conference. The highlight of the conference has definitely been the keynote speakers, Matthew & Mitchell LaBerge (and their mom, Julie), twins who are living with Autism. Listening to them share their experiences from childhood through their adult lives was very inspiring and insightful!🐾 #DurandPanthers
