Why “Lotus”

Growth, resilience, transformation.

The lotus flower grows through mud to bloom with beauty and strength — a powerful symbol of resilience, growth, and transformation. Like the journey of those in special education, it reflects perseverance, renewal, and the belief that with the right support, every individual can thrive.
