Senator Hoffmann, a long time friend and supporter of Jowonio School, announced a $100,000 grant to the school's Capital Campaign. The grant will assist with the purchase and renovation costs for their new building. Jowonio School, established in 1969, has become a regional authority on inclusive education, a teaching method that integrates special needs and typical children in the classroom environment. |
