Angel at YESS 2013

Angel gave us these pictures at our supervised visit 7/20/13. She was proud that she was voted Miss YESS. She did not tell us. Catrina told us. Angel does little talking. We did have fun doing our nails. YESS is a camp for children with special needs. It helps these children with retaining what they had learned in the school year plus work on areas they need additional help with. This gives children, who cannot go to a camp, have something special to go to during the summer. Some of the children do not qualify for summer school. High school age children do not attend summer school because the schools only have to teach life skills because of how the laws are written.  believe and others also believe that schools are failing to use technology which would give the children, with special needs, an opportunity to do jobs which would be careers that they would enjoy plus be proud that they are helping their community.
