The Book Love Donation Drive is currently underway at TEMS until February 29.  Donate gently used board books and chapter books at the entrances of the school.  These donations will go to Reading Recycled, an organization that puts books in the hands of children in the school district of Philadelphia through stocking sidewalk libraries, filling teacher book banks, and refurbishing old libraries into a new library space.  We are aiming to collect 3,000 books and are currently a little over 1,000 books.  Thanks for your help and generosity! 

While many schools are moving toward integration and inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classrooms, simply being in the room is not enough. Students with disabilities need to participate in ways that lead to deep belonging and connection with peers in their communities. 

That’s why the PA Inclusion Collective and the PEAL Center are excited to provide families and educators in Pennsylvania this 3-part series.
