Occupational therapist Vicki Demaster specializes in developing skills in the areas of visual perception, fine motor, gross motor, cognitive and social skills. For example: What's the difference between a sheep and a rooster? Does a square peg fit into a triangular hole? How do you thread a needle? And most importantly—how does Dustin make a caterpillar fly?
Holiday Bells and Song:
And how does Melissa Raley spread all that joy? Melissa and her talented musicians—all from the nearby Underwood Gifted and Talented Magnet Elementary School—honored us with a special Christmas concert today. Melissa has been teaching there since the Magnet Program began in 1981. She is eligible to retire but says she is still having too much fun in the classroom to consider it! Today she brought her fun to the children of Hayes Barton Baptist Church and to my Frankie Lemmon friends. To you and your wonderful music makers, a big THANK YOU, Melissa!
THANK YOU
To Miss Forbis and Miss White and all my friends in the class of four-year-olds, Thank you VERY MUCH for the wonderful wreath and card. (The wreath is designed around a circle of little handprints.)
Reminder: Last week to vote!
If you think our own Melissa Matthews should spend a year (and $100,000) helping the Frankie Lemmon School, then click here to vote for her today and every day through December 23rd. Every time you vote, IKEA also donates $1 to Save the Children.
And a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!
