Welcome to Exceptional Student Education
Play a Round of Golf, Support Local Special Olympics in Pasco
Special Olympics Pasco will be holding its 14th Annual Golf Tournament at Lexington Oaks Golf Club, on May 5, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. The Special Olympics program is recognized as the most credible charitable organization in the country. It was founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver over 30 years ago to provide a year-round program of sports training and athletic competition for individuals with intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Pasco County Special Olympics currently boasts more 1000 athletes actively participating in the program, which is recognized as one of the best in the state of Florida. There is no cost to the athletes or their families to participate, and Special Olympics must raise approximately $60,000 per year from fundraisers and donations to operate the program.
Money that is raised from this tournament will help to support the Pasco County Special Olympics program and send our athletes to County, Area, and State level competitions. All the money raised and collected, will remain in Pasco County. There are no administration costs or extra fees.
If you would like to participate in the golf tournament, please complete and submit the attached form. There is no need to organize a foursome as golfers can be assigned to a group on the day of the event.
Thank you for supporting Special Olympics Pasco!

A Message from our Director
Dear Parents of Exceptional Students:
Welcome to the Exceptional Student Education webpage. The purpose of this site is to provide information for parents, school staff, and caregivers of students with disabilities and students who are gifted. Both groups of students are served in collaboration with the Exceptional Student Education Department.
Parent involvement is very important for student success. By definition students who are exceptional may learn differently from typical children, at home and at school. As a parent, you are your child's first teacher and have probably already discovered your child's strengths and found ways to support areas that he or she may find challenging.
Your knowledge about your child is very helpful to the school team when collaborating to develop your child's education plan. If you have not met your child's teachers, please plan on contacting them to discuss your child's progress and ways that you can work together for his or her success. I would also encourage you to join our ESE Advisory Committee (information below) or your child's school's advisory council. This is a wonderful way to learn more about our programs and to provide valuable input.
Please feel free to contact the ESE Department at (727) 774-2600 if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Melissa Musselwhite
