Celebrate Communicate Day held for nearly 80 students
Students gathered at the CSIU on Wednesday, May 6 for Celebrate Communicate Day. Dubbed CC Day, the event is held annually to bring together students who use assistive devices to communicate. The theme this year was "Rock 'n Roll is Here to Say," and CSIU staff and students created signage, activities and games around the rock 'n roll era. Staff and guests were treated to a musical performance by the King of Rock 'n Roll, Elvis Presley (Brad Crum). Nearly 80 students from local school districts attended, and had many opportunities to "talk" with other students who use devices and picture boards. Thank you to all parents, students, family members and CSIU and district staff for supporting CC Day. Click here for more pictures of CC Day.
