I am a lucky teacher at a school for children with disabilities. We have about 170 students total. I have 13 students and they are either 18 or 19 years old. We emphasize health and nutrition because of the prevalence of obesity among our population of students. This school year we have started even more programs to enhance their health. We are sampling produce every month and they have corresponding curriculum. They ride horses weekly on our campus, and have just started swimming again. We promote dental health and teach them how to handle stress and emotions. They soak up everything we teach them and want more. They are a joy to work with and teach me as much as I teach them.
