The program ensures students with cognitive or learning disabilities at the school are not just included, but are welcomed and accepted in various capacities by their peers.
"I think it really fits one of our core values really well, inclusive diversity and god says to welcome the children," Leandra juarez, director of the Burke Scholar program, said."The buddies are not told, you have to be this person's friend and you have to nice to them and you have to help them with this. It happens naturally."A big focus of hers is ensuring students, like Heneghan and Meyer, develop the life skills that will help them when they graduate.
It's also about building character within the entire student body. Showing them it's possible to have strong connections and friendships that transcend our differences. In addition to spending time at school, members of the Burke Scholars program are also part of an after school club that encourages activities outside the classroom.
