Dozens of special needs classes in the San Jose got to celebrate Halloween with a dance thanks to one teacher's planning.One special education teacher with eight students, hosted 20 other classes from his school district at a Halloween dance."It's so precious to watch all of them have so much fun," said parent Melissa Leslie.
That's because they say students with special needs rarely, if ever, get to participate in school events or activities. "He's 16," said parent Karen Rodezno of her son Alexis, "All my life, I've actually fought for the fact that he gets included in a lot of things like sports. Obviously, they never include children with special needs or include having an inclusion for that, so I'm happy that they actually did this for them because they get to enjoy it."He first organized a Halloween Dance for his eight special needs students last year; six other classes got to join in.
"I'm so thankful to all of you, parents, friends, coworkers, anybody who'd seen the story last week and donated" he said, "We more than doubled, I think we tripled our goal.""I'm hoping that this is the start of the kids with special needs to be a part of these events in the future," said parent Claudia Lopez42 minutes ago
