Competing at 13 skill stations, they demonstrated incredible skill and precision with their canes, mastering tasks like navigating stairs, guiding through narrow passageways, performing an about-face, and executing a perfect touch-and-drag technique down a hallway.

Congratulations to Washington's Top Gotcha Winners for the month of October!!
A "gotcha" is a positive reinforcement tool used to recognize and reward exceptional behavior by students. It's a way of acknowledging when a student goes above and beyond expectations, demonstrating outstanding character, responsibility, or effort, both in and outside of the classroom.
