Pathways to Celebrate 10th Year Anniversary!
Pathways will be celebrating our 10th year anniversary on Tuesday - May 22, 2012 from 4:00pm-7:00pm. This celebration promises to be a great party filled with fun and festivities for everyone. Carlos' Bakery (home of Buddy the Cake Boss) is making our anniversary cake and a new "Include ME!" commemorative anniversary logo has been designed by the children participating in our programs! This logo will be used only for our 2012 anniversary and is titled "Ten Years - One Voice.". All registration information is posted below for our Anniversary Celebration. The 5K Race will be taking place on June 30, 2012 and registration for it is also posted below.

The Dream it Forward Challenge - Feature Story for Spring 2012:
Bernard’s Parents for Exceptional Children (PEC) made it a goal to provide sensitivity training to their entire third and sixth grade in their school district which totalled over 890 students. They began training students using Pathways’ “Include ME!” program curriculum in Nov 2011 and met their goal February 17, 2012. This is their third year training their third grade students and first year training students in the sixth grade. Pathways would like to recognize them in their devotion to ensuring children in their schools understand and accept children of all abilities! The photo at left features from left to right; Ms. Mary Ehid, Assistant Principal at William Annin Middle School, Mrs. Karen Hudock, Principal at William Annin Middle School, Mrs. Monique McHenry, PTA Co-President, Mrs. Jeanette Jaworski, Mentor Coordinator for Bernard's PEC, and Melinda Jennis, President of Pathways for Exceptional Children. Congratulations to all the grade schools and William Annin Middle School in Bernard's Township School District and Bernard's PEC! You have made a difference in the lives of your students!
