Last night, the Clare-Gladwin Great Start Collaborative Family Coalition hosted a special evening with former Detroit Lions player Deon Butler. Stephanie Blain, a parent and core member of the Family Coalition, initiated the event by reaching out to Butler in November, inviting him to speak with local families about the importance of education, literacy, and resiliency. With the support of local community partners and the Ideal Theatre, her efforts made this impactful event possible. A total of 161 attendees gathered to hear Butler's motivational message and meet him in person. Thank you to everyone who was a part of this awesome event. #CGRESD #ourstory

In occupational therapy sessions, OTs encourage students to improve their fine motor and coordination skills by engaging in tasks that incorporate their "likes." Many of our students enjoy Toy Story, and the cubes and reusable stickers are good tools to help improve their in-hand manipulation and eye-hand coordination skills! Additionally, if the student has an AAC device, it can be modeled to "put more" pieces onto the board :) #CGRESD #ourstory
