#Engage, Energize, & Educate

March 18th-March 22nd

Dear Families,

Thank you Mrs. MJ and the Unified Committee for planning a spectacular “Respect Week” at Pleasant View! Students and staff enjoyed the daily spirit days and there were various special activities for students.  Classes participated in simulation centers that provided students a snapshot of what students with disabilities experience on a daily basis. Members of Smithfield Police and Fire joined students for lunch and we had an assembly with a guest speaker from the Down Syndrome Society of RI.
