WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Here at Giant Steps, we love hearing about our graduates, and recently we had 27 year-old Derek come and visit our staff and students. Derek has a huge interest in Ink Master, a reality TV competition series which features tattoo artists who compete in various challenges. He was recently named Ink Master's Superfan and invited to their season finale in Las Vegas - check it out!
Ink Master
Derek Paradis is an adult on the autism spectrum and Ink Master’s biggest fan. We invited him to the finale where we had the opportunity to learn what the Ink Master community means to him - and what he means to the community.
Thank you City of Markham Firefighters! When to call 911, what to do when a fire or smoke alarm goes off, what does a firefighter look like in all their gear --- just a few things our kids learned on their recent visit. Of course, the truck was the biggest hit!Thank you City of Markham Firefighters!
