There Are Still Good Kids In Las Vegas

Today, at our high school I teach at, we, or should say our students put on a dance for about 200 students with cognitive and multiple disabilities in the Clark County School District, Region 1.
Our student council organized the dance and put up decorations. The student DJ kept the kids dancing while the students in the Mariachi class got the gym rocking. The Marine Corp Junior ROTC helped set up, escort students from different schools from the bus to the gym, helped pass out food and helped clean up. The MCJROTC are a class act and a talented group of people as they have received several awards in different area JROTC competitions. Members of the photography class helped take and print free pictures of all the students. The cooking classes baked about 1000 pieces of bakery products and it tasted delicious. Even our mildly developmentally disabled students got into the act by helping set up and after the dance, clean up.
So, when people say that we have spoiled kids in this community, kids who are in trouble with the law, kids that don't care about other people and so on, that just isn't true. Our school is a Title One school. It is about 70% Hispanic, 20% black, 5% white and the rest Asian or Pacific Islander At our high school, the students in my class, who have severe multiple disabilities, are treated like gold. They are treated with respect by the other students and and are included in many activities. Even the toughest gang banger at our school will open the door and say hi to our students
I am very proud of all of our students at my high school and you cannot meet a nicer group of kids.
