FIRE Foundation facilitates inclusion in Catholic schools
Dr. Ryan Allen of the FIRE Foundation of Northwest Iowa and diocesan Superintendent of Catholic Schools Patty Lansink share what the foundation does to facilitate inclusion in the 15 Catholic school systems in the diocese. Through grants and professional development opportunities, the foundation is supporting all diocesan schools. Students with disabilities can attend the same school as their siblings and friends thanks to inclusion efforts.
The two explain that FIRE raises funds through FIRE and Flights, which will be held Sept. 10. Learn more here
