The Club welcomed DAVID SCHULTEIS, President of The Pathway School, to update us on the school, its goals, history, and plans for development and expansion. The school was founded in 1960 with the goal of assisting children with a wide range of developmental challenges, teaching them "to learn how to learn". They run day programming for kids in K - 12, currently including 180 students from around the state. The school is known for its autism program, an affliction that disproportionately affect males. They work to increase self esteem, independence, as they develop social and work skills, helping the students achieve they greatest independence each is capable of. DAVID detailed how the school has undertaken major facility upgrades, stressing STEM technology in all phases of the educational environment, letting the students become familiar with technology they will need in the future.
PATHWAY received our major grant from last year's fundraiser, and DAVID related how the funds were used to acquire curriculum packages, and help launch their STEM program.
Thank-you, DAVID SCHULTEIS.
