For families of children with special needs who need/may need special education services
The Law Offices of Georgianna Junco-Kelman primary goal is to secure high quality educational services for children with disabilities. They hope to empower parents and hold school officials accountable for providing adequate supportive services that assist each child in receiving a free appropriate public education as mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004.

Your adventurous Jr. Chef/Baker can make Whole Grain {Healthified} Monkey Bread/Pluckets
Delicious, whole grain, sticky, cinnamon-y, buttery monkey bread – homemade is always better than with cans of pre-made dough. Use bread machine/mixer with dough hook or make dough by hand. Sweetener options listed. Takes a while with kneading, rising, rising again, dipping 1″ balls in melted butter then cinnamon sugar, dropping pieces into a pan, rising, baking, and cooling, but worth it. Dig in! Parental supervision.
