Thank you to all of the parents and teachers who came to the "Back to School" night on September 2. I personally had to chance to meet with several parents. I also want to thank the the Support Groups in attendance (Arc of Baltimore, Service Coordination, Creative Options, Ms. Mary Scott, and Ms. Emily Watts). I saw firsthand the collaboration and conversations I was hoping to encourage.
