During Fire Prevention Week, we’re reminding our families about simple yet effective measures we can take to ensure our homes are safe from fire hazards. One such measure is to turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. This helps prevent accidental bumps or pulls that could cause hot liquids to spill and cause burns.
We encourage every family to take a moment and review their fire safety plans. Remember, fire prevention is everyone's responsibility. Let's work together to keep our homes and loved ones safe.

🧠 October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month.
Learning disabilities can be caused by genetic and neurobiological factors that affect cognitive processes related to learning, such as reading, writing, math, organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, memory, and attention.
Learning disabilities can impact an individual's life beyond academics, affecting relationships and work. While learning disabilities are often diagnosed during the school years, some individuals may not receive an evaluation until post-secondary education or adulthood.
It's important to note that learning disabilities should not be confused with other disabilities or disadvantages.
People with learning disabilities are often of average or above-average intelligence, but may struggle to demonstrate expected skills. Although learning disabilities are lifelong challenges, appropriate support and intervention can help individuals achieve success in various areas of life.
