Greetings!
Another year has begun and we are so excited to see our classrooms brimming with creativity! Our staff has prepared challenging new lessons and we are scheduling a busy semester including guest lecturers and field trips. In addition to welcoming 10 new first-year students, we are pleased to be teaching a total of 25 full-time students and 19 part-timers. Exceptional Minds will hold it's first graduation ceremony in June. We have experienced phenomenal growth as a school and our students are flourishing! We are proud that nine of our students volunteered to teach animation at the USC autism website launch ( www.interactingwithautism.com). "Exceptional Minds in Transition," a USC documentary on that website, features Exceptional Minds students. Our first Exceptional Parents meeting will be held on November 3rd. Hope to see many of you at this important event! Sincerely, Yudi Bennett & Ernie Merlan
