Students graduating from Sycamore High School and moving into the district's Life School no longer have to feel left out as they watch their classmates move on to college...thanks to a special donation from the Sycamore Rotary Club.
Last year, graduating seniors posed for pictures identifying the schools they would be moving on to, and sometimes wearing shirts for their new institution; this included students headed to the Life School after completing their individualized educational plan through District 427.
To give these students further pride in their accomplishments, the Rotary Club provided them with collegiate-style sweatshirts identifying them as Life School students; this year's graduating class will again be provided with these shirts, as part of the Rotary Club's literacy efforts.
The Life School provides continuing education for students with developmental or intellectual disabilities; this is the next step for those students who have finished four years at Sycamore High School and qualify to move on to the school at 357 California Street.
