St. Francis Children's Center

As always, it was great to see everyone at the BAYSHORE Family Flicks Free Movie Series!

Thank you BAYSHORE, for including St. Francis Children's Center and Shorewest, Realtors - Northshore in a Troll-tastic movie event!

Woah! wait! What’s Happening? It’s Wisdom Wednesday!

Today’s quote comes from the late American Writer and Artist: William S. Burroughs

“The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values”
Here at St. Francis Children’s Center, we value not just that our students are learning, but that we leave an everlasting effect to better prepare them for the future. To curate and provide an inclusive environment for students is a forefront value we pursue.

Today’s resource comes to you as a video from renowned educator, researcher, and inclusive education advocate Suzanne Carrington on Ted Talks regarding the importance of inclusive education.

⚠️Disclaimer: This is a serious video that speaks on the unfortunate history that had plagued special education prior to the early 90’s. Uncomfortable language is used, but Suzanne speaks on much of the recent positive change that has been happening to “develop a more inclusive environment…for all students”

St. Francis Children's Center wants to wish everyone a safe & happy 4th of July!

The kids had a blast working out last week! Thank you GiGi's Playhouse Milwaukee for coming in and helping our kiddos exercise! These little athletes were running, jumping, pushing, and hooping all they could. It was an awesome time and we hope to see more participants next Tuesday!

Wisdom Wednesday!

Today’s quote is from the late Blue’s guitarist, Riley B. King.

“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." - B.B. King

Today's resource is more of a general website to view and keep up with educational trends.
