Resilient Teachers . . . Inspired Learners
While the COVID-19 pandemic brought many unexpected changes, the P.G. Chambers School mission and our commitment to the children and families depending on us remains the same. Like so many organizations, our resources have been stretched as we quickly pivoted to the world of hybrid teaching and learning.
Just imagine for a moment, what it would be like to provide support to a student like Kyle in a virtual setting. Kyle communicates using a device and switches, utilizes a wheelchair and needs daily therapy. Now imagine a class of P.G. Chambers School students who all have complex needs and supports. How do you make it work for all of them and inspire your students to keep learning? How do you partner with parents in this new hybrid setting? How do you fit individualized speech, occupational and physical therapies into the school day? Now for some, this task might seem daunting but the P.G. Chambers School team has jumped right in. Our team of educators and therapists brilliantly find the potential in every child and they are committed to doing what they do best, whether in-person or virtually.
Student Spotlight:
We remain steadfast in our commitment to serve our children and families in the face of the financial and physical challenges of the pandemic. Unexpected investments in technology, and the slowing of the referral process for new students have all impacted our bottom line. Our fund raising events continue to be impacted as we abide by social distancing rules and ensure the safety of our community.
Every gift matters, every gift counts. We are stronger together and we are so grateful for your continued partnership.
The new CARES Act includes provisions to encourage donations to schools like ours. A $300 tax deduction is available even if you do not itemize. Please consider PGCS students if you are able to continue your charitable giving at this time.
