Last year, we found out that we had received the Frederick L. Hipp grant from the NJ Education Association. Mrs. Smith (formerly Mrs. Duke) received the plaque at a special awards banquet at the NJEA Convention 2 weeks ago.
The grant will provide funds for our "Laying Bricks: A Foundation for Friendship" project. The students with autism will be paired with "LEGO leader" peers to create self-portraits using LEGO bricks. The final works will be displayed at the Perkins Center for the Arts in Collingswood in May.
