High Point Elementary School in Sandy Springs last week celebrated Exceptional Children’s Week.

The week, which runs March 9–13, is an annual event celebrating youth with exceptionalities and the professionals who serve them.

This week is sponsored by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), the world’s largest membership organization for special and gifted teachers, teacher/educators and preservice teachers.

Students and staff celebrated by highlighting famous people with disabilities on the morning news.

All High Point students in the exceptional children’s program had the opportunity to draw/write about If I Were a Super Hero.

Parents were invited to the school Friday morning for a reception to honor their children.
