DISCOVERING
the unique potential WITHIN EVERY CHILD
Dear Friend of P. G. Chambers School, We are tremendously proud of the accomplishments achieved during the 2016/2017 school year at P.G. Chambers School (PGCS), by both the children enrolled in our programs and by our dedicated staff and board members. Our organization continued to touch the lives of over 800 children and their families during this time period, from the students enrolled in our school, early intervention, and child care programs, to the hundreds of pupils from local school districts who benefited from our community services program. We hope to inform and inspire you with the P.G. Chambers School annual report for 2016/2017, Oh How We’ve Grown!, offering insights into the growth and change that happens each year. In this annual report, we offer you a glimpse into how our garden grows – how we nurture our students to develop a love of learning, self-confidence, and eventual independence. You will learn how our teachers and therapists use their professional expertise and collaborative approaches to create an innovative learning environment for our students. We know that no two children are the same but that all our students deserve the very best education we can offer. To achieve this, we rely on the support of individual donors, foundations, corporations, and other community partners, allowing us to remain on the cutting edge in the field of special education. We are so fortunate at PGCS to have a strong community that supports our students, including our loyal and generous donors, a passionate and committed board of trustees, the incredible parents and loved ones of our students, and the staff members who celebrate the successes of our students with enthusiasm and genuine joy. We are continually grateful for your support.
