We are thrilled to announce our June 2023 Precision Cares Recipient – Northwest Education Services CHS MOCI Program! Precision is honored to support their work in our community!

From Kayla Pendergast – Teacher for Students with Moderate Cognitive Impairments”

“Our program services moderate cognitively impaired students from the 5 county region (Leelanau, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Antrim). We teach 14-18 year olds. Our primary focus is on teaching independence through community based instruction, pre-vocational work skills, and teaching a modified curriculum. We have 20 students at the high school and we are looking forward to giving our students a space to enjoy lunch outside along with leisure time.

Any left over funds will be used to purchase outdoor games and activities to encourage our students to move and live a healthy lifestyle.”

They were able to purchase 2 new picnic tables and corn hole, various balls, and badminton for their classroom!
