Living with CP: the early years part 23.

Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a wonderful day today, and had a great weekend. I went to a Dayton Gems hockey game this weekend with some of my friends.

A Dayton Police Car.
I'm going to talk about some of the very special events they would plan for us at Gorman School, like Career Day and Breakfast With Santa downtown every year. When we had Career Day, we would have Children's Medical Center, the Dayton Fire Department along with the EMS and the Dayton Police Department. They would actually bring all their vehicles and have the kids sit in them. They even had companies come in and give the boys haircuts, and also do the ladies' nails. It would last all day and everyone looked forward to that every year and having a day away from school work.

Breakfast with Santa.
Also every year, usually in December before Christmas break, they would close down the whole school for a day. They would get about 10 school buses and everyone would load up and head downtown for Breakfast with Santa. Sometimes some of the parents would come to school and ride with us on the buses. Everyone received one gift from Santa.

The school did these special events because most of the kids would never get to experience those things. The school tried to get everyone to experience real-life things.  Have a great day!
