Community McHENRY PLAINPEALER Section A Monday, August 26,19>S Pago 3 District highlights special ed classes When many people hear the term "special education" they immedi ately think of classroom and educa tional programs that are completely isolated from regular curriculum programs. In fact, this could not be further from the truth! All students are unique, and many students have additional learning needs that can range from very mild to severe in nature. As a re sult, special educational services for certain students may only entail seeing a specially trained teacher for a small portion of a school day or on an every-other-day basis while others may require a residential program. McHenry Community High School District 156 recognizes this individ uality in students and has estab lished special education programs to accomodate those differences. In accordance with P. L. 94-142 assur ing parents of all exceptional stu dents a free, appropriate education (free defined as no cost to parents) District 156 has developed pro grams organized on a level system. There are three basic levels. Lev el I is for students who are educated in a self-contained environment, yet also attend those classes in the stan dard curriculum in which they can appropriately function. Level II represents an "alterna tive standard program" in which the curricular content and educa tional methods used by the teacher are substantially changed. In this level, students move from class to class as any other student and re ceive an academic credit for suc cessfully completing course requirements. Level III is a resource program designed to provide tutorial, diag nostic, and consultation services to identified students in the mainstream. District 156 administers these pro grams for students with behavioral disorders, learning disabilities, or very mild retardation conditions. The amount of time each student will spend in these levels is contin gent mi their unique learning and/or emotional needs. For those special education pro grams that McHenry Community High School does not administer themselves, a request will be made to the Special Education District of McHenry County to provide ser vices. Currently, District 156 tu itions students to several programs operated by SEDOM. These programs are for students who are functioning with various learning impairments, including moderate intellectual impairment, severe intellectual impairment, physical handicaps, auditory acuity problems, visual acuity problems and communications problems. Finally, for those students with extensive needs, the district will work with appropriate private day- treatment or residential programs that are structured to provide the types of educational services these students require. District 156 rcog- nizes the responsibility to provide a free and appropriate education to all students regardless of circumstances. If any parent or citizen knows of a student who may require a special education or service, they should contact Dennis Welter, Director of Special Programs at 385-1145.

First Annual Heart Transplant Picnic sponsored by Loyola's cardi ology department. Hie picnic, attended, attended by Loyola person nel and the heart transplant patients and their families featured food, fun and games at Westchester Woods Forest Preserve, Westchester, 111. Johnson became Loyola's first woman patient to have a heart transplant, and the 16th person to have the surgery at the medical center on March 27. Since beginning the program in March, 1964, Loyola surgeons have performed 31 heart transplants, and - of that number - 25 are living. It doesn't take a long time; for some it may even be a good chance to "take a load off their feet" and relax a few minutes. The pain is small; hardly more than a pin prick. Hie reward up front may seem to be just a glass of orange juice for energy. The real reward comes later; perhaps not for the giver but for the receiver. A gift of Mood may reward someone with life. An unconscious victim of an acci dent will not be able to consider where that vital pint of blood came from. A baby, just born but in need of a whole new blood supply, may grow up without having heard the story of the blood donor who made his life better. An individual with a serious dis ease may be too ill to stop and shake the hand of a blood donor standing in line. But the giver should always know that he/she may have just saved a life or made a life better. Northern Illinois Medical Center will be sponsoring a blood drive through the Aurora blood bank Thursday, Sept. 19, 1 to 5 p.m. in dining rooms D and E. The generous hearts of the com munity made NIMC's last blood drive so successful that donors had to be turned away. This is the sec ond chance to give someone a sec ond chance.
