[CCoE Notice] You're Invited: Monarch School Charity Breakfast

[Thayer, Natalie]

Dear colleagues and friends,

The monarch school (for children and young adults with disabilities and
special needs) is having a charity breakfast event (Friday, October 28,
2016 from 6:45 AM to 9:15 AM) to raise funds to allow children and young
adults with disabilities to continue to reach their developmental
milestones and to be able to become part of our society. These funds will
allow the creation of scholarships for less fortunate families with
children with special needs and also to help maintain the quality of
education of these students.

As many of you know, my son has been blessed to be part of the Monarch
school and to be part of this miracle. This school has being doing a great
job with my son and many other special needs kids. When my son started at
Monarch school (age 5), he was only saying a few words, in less than 6
months, he was already starting to have short conversations with me! For,
me and many families, this school has been a blessing! Their methods to
educate special needs children and young adults really works wonderfully!

The breakfast is free and it is to celebrate special needs children and
their achievements! If you desire to come for the breakfast, please use
the link, so that they reserve a spot for you. But, if you cannot come but
would like to contribute with a donation (any amount will be welcomed) to
this endeavor, it will be highly appreciate. You can donate directly using
the links provided below (through text, phone, or their website), or if
you prefer check, You can make it to Monarch School and just give to me.
It will be my pleasure to forward your donation to the school.

Thank you all for your support.
Debora
