If you are interested in teaching or helping students who have disabilities, Mrs. San Nicholas at JFKHS is providing this service learning opportunity to give these special students support. 
You will create products celebrating the holidays for students in the Resource Room. All products will include vocabulary words to support their learning of language. You may also assist students with disabilities in recreational games or class work to increase all students' self-esteem.
