Such An Honor Maggie Kendryna was honored with the Infinitec Award for all her hard work and dedication in using her communication device. Infinitec is an organization that assists others in need with assistive technology. She was recognized at a ceremony at the Odyssey Country Club on March 8 with more than 150 attendees, where she accepted her award using her communication device. It was an amazing event!

Maggie greatly deserved this award for her accomplishments with her communication skills. Each year Maggie makes great progress using her communication de-vice. She continues to learn new vocabulary and expand her utterances using her device. Maggie has blossomed into a very social, outgoing young lady who never ceases to amaze the staff. Her communication device is part of her… it’s her voice and now she loves to share her voice with others to express her thoughts, needs, and desires. Now we get to know the true Maggie and she gets to learn about us because she is capable of initiating and maintaining conversations creating many different relationships with others.

The young entrepreneurs of High 5 Apparel traveled to

St. Xavier, Eisenhower High School and DLP to present their products

to staff this month.

The students did an amazing job communicating their goals for the

future and describing the services offered.

Students asked participants to complete an exit slip which will help

them to improve the High 5 business. We are so proud of all our

young entrepreneurs- keep up the great creativity and a High 5 to all

involved!!!

High 5 Hits the Road

SWSRA NEWS SWSRA has been busy, busy, busy this past month doing a variety of crafts, science experiments and fun physical activities. ATP has taken ad-vantage of the warmer weather by taking our groups outside to walk to get some fresh air and sunshine on our faces for the first time in 2018! Some groups have enjoyed constructing St. Patrick's Day and spring crafts. We are looking forward to doing more activities outside when the spring weather arrives. SWSRA Fun Fact: On Friday’s we are all able to join together in the adjoining gyms for what we call “Fun Friday’s”. It’s a day for the participants to be able choose what they like to do out of the options that we provide for them. In one of the gyms we always set up the movie screen for the participants to get their groove on and play Just Dance. We recently purchased a karaoke machine to go along with that for the students to sing along while dancing the day away. SWSRA’s Spring season has started, but it is not too late to sign up for Special Olympics Softball! We also have many fun special events to still sign up for such as; Gizmo’s Fun Factory, Walk, Run or Roll Race, and SWSRA’s Spring Formal! You will not want to miss out on these great events! Are you looking for something to keep your student busy during summer? Remember that SWSRA offers multiple options for day camps at affordable rates. You are considered a resident of SWSRA when you are participating in ATP which gives you even better prices for programs, events, and camps! SWSRA has made new changes to the structure of camp to provide even more fun than before! Day Camp Registration be-gins on March 5th – April 27th. Do you enjoy going to dances with your friends? Join us for SWSRA’s Annual Spring Formal on May 18th from 6:30pm – 9:00pm. Registration re-quired through SWSRA no later than April 27th. The discounted fee for ATP students is $30 per person. This includes admission to the dance, a full catered dinner, DJ music all night, and a photo. We will crown a King, Queen, and court at the end of the night. You will not want to miss this night! You can check out the Spring/Summer brochure at www.swsra.com or call 708-389-9423 for more information.

Week of March 19-23 Hoang-Chuong Vuong continues to enhance his work skills

while job training at Moraine Valley Community College (MVCC) and Lighthouse Church. Every Monday you can find Hoang-Chuong hard at work in the maintenance de-

partment of MVCC.

On Tuesdays, Hoang-Chuong stocks shelves and cleans the pantry at Lighthouse Church. Chuong recently stated, ‘I love going to work because I have the BEST job coach-es’!!! We love to collaborate on work ideas with Hoang-

Chuong just like Lady Gaga and Beyonce did with Chuong’s favorite song ‘Telephone’.

Week of March 12-16 Kelly Jagust deserves a High 5 with her amazing work ethic!!! Kelly does not stop working from the time she gets to ATP until she goes

home. When she is not prepping and serving food for Chartwells you can

find Kelly in the High 5 Apparel Room. In the High 5 setting, Kelly has the embroidery machines going non-stop. She fulfills numerous cus-

tomer orders and her creativity is inspiring and contagious! When Kelly is not working on the embroidery machines, she is often found helping her peers create new products on the adhesive vinyl cutter. ATP students and staff, always, seek out Kelly when they need extra

support. Kelly is a true ATP role model. In her free time, Kelly is usually

spending time with her beloved dog, Lenny. Kelly- everyone at ATP applauds you and thanks you for going above and beyond. Lenny

sure is one lucky dog to have you in his life.

Week of March 5-9 Kevin job trains at Moraine Valley Community College (MVCC). At

MVCC, Kevin performs maintenance duties. According to all his job coaches, Kevin is hitting a grand slam into the world of work! Kevin comes to work with a smile on his face and he always tries

his best. Everyone at ATP, is cheering on Kevin as he continues to learn new work skills.
