Knights From Mother Seton Council Supports Lopez Exceptional Student Center

Lopez Exceptional Student Center provides developmental training for children that are either physically or mentally challenged and unable to attend class in a typical school environment. Through the use of physical, visual and audio means, it is able to communicate with and help these children lead a more meaningful life. One of its newer classrooms is set up like a home. There, children, who are able, learn social skills, such as using table utensils, setting a table and washing dishes — simple everyday tasks that we take for granted but for them are a challenge.

On June 16, Knights from Mother Seton Council 6724 presented Sara Schwanzl, principal of Lopez Exceptional Student Center, a check for $2726.10. This money was collected during three Council Tootsie Roll Drives conducted this year at local Publix stores.
