Charity: Holiday Craft Fair [] Escuela de Educación Especial

Please join us on Saturday, December 11th! The students of EEESMA, all of whom are Deaf, have been busy during the past months creating beautiful handcrafts specifically for this sale. Each student involved in the Transition/Vocational Training Program (transitioning from school to the workplace) receives a portion of the sale as payment for their work. This, as you can imagine, is a big deal for them. As we want to encourage as many purchases as possible, most items are offered at huge discounts.

Safety protocols will be in place such as: masks must be worn, hands sanitized and as much activity as possible will be outdoors and in well ventilated areas. The $300 peso admission goes toward your purchase. The kids thank you for your support!

Our mission is to ensure that all San Miguel de Allende children who are Deaf become literate, independent, and productive citizens who set and achieve life goals. San Miguel School for Special Education, or Escuela de Educación Especial de San Miguel de Allende, will accomplish this mission through:

> Forging partnerships with families, other “like” schools , and government and non-government organizations;

> Providing leadership, advocacy, and educational expertise that advances a continuum of educational options that honor individual children’s needs and are based upon a comprehensive, whole-child assessment;

> Dedication to proven best educational practices in language and communication access and the bi-lingual utilization of Mexican Sign Language and Spanish;

> Establishing and maintaining high expectations for all students through an accessible, engaging, standards-based curriculum that promotes social, vocational, and post-primary school success and utilizes state-of-the-art technology, when available;

> Respect for diversity in socioeconomic status, cultures and perspectives of families and students;

> Encouraging and supporting students choices and self-determination to ensure their post-secondary experiences are successful.
