Testimonials

I just wanted the three of you to know how happy my kids are right now.  They just came down all excited about the activities that they did today.  I've never had kids come back from specials so excited to tell me what they have learned.  Thank you for brightening all of our days.  I thought you might like to know.

The activities yesterday were awesome, truly a success!!  We truly appreciate Tria, Frank, Tim, & Cully for dedicating their entire day to us!!!  That really means a lot to us!  The kids enjoyed it and seemed to realize the toughness of using a wheelchair (especially while trying to dribble and shoot a basketball), playing volleyball while sitting, and catching a ball blindfolded.  Thank you again for arranging the activities for us yesterday!
