Yesterday we were able inaugurate LISD's very first sensory room! This room helps our special needs students when they get overstimulated in class. Their teacher can pull them out and take them to the sensory room in order to go and release their stress and their emotions! Very big thanks to our superintendent Dr. Rios for making this possible and a big thank you to our very own teacher and now board member Mrs. Orduño for bringing this dream to life! Lastly a big thank you to everyone who made this project possible. We are eternally grateful! GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT CMS!! GOOOO BULLDOGS!!
