Welcome to a festive ride with "Fast 15" where we jingle all the way through December's educational maze.

We're also taking a detour to celebrate some key cultural milestones like National Pie Day, Special Education Day, International Persons with Disabilities Day, and surprisingly, World Soil Day.
This episode comes with a double treat as we get insights from three extraordinary guests. Darien, the strong voice of our Launch Buddies class, pays a heartfelt tribute to the tireless special education teachers. Bryce, a veteran of our 18 to 21 program, shares his journey of self-advocacy and independence and Sam highlights his journey with his artwork and classes in high school that were successfully supported by amazing paraeducators. Their narratives not only highlight the transformative power of special education but also inspire us to continually support the unique needs of every student.
