Jade has Downs syndrome and is nonverbal. She has recently found her love for art at the Outsider Collective in Pawtucket where she created Del's inspired paintings. Jade had a gallery showing at Del's Depot in Warren, RI this past September where she sold her artwork at a silent auction. Students enjoyed meeting Jade and asking her mom, Lori Golato questions about her favorite painting methods and Del's flavors!Jade will be coming in throughout the year to work with our Unified Leadership Committee on creating "Choose to Include" signs for the doors that lead out to our playground areas. "Choose to Include" is the Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools motto. We are aNational Banner School and we try to include everyone in everything we do regardless of ability. These signs will serve as important reminders for all of our students on their way out to recess and we are so honored to have Jade help us create them. #ChooseToIncludeHere is the photo collage.Jade is on WJAR Channel 10!Lost and FoundPlease put your child’s name on all hats, mittens, coats, sweatshirts, and lunch boxes.
