We had a great student assembly this afternoon to honor International Persons With A Disability Awareness Day. Many agencies and presenters with disabilities shared their life and employment experiences while making a strong connection to the benefits of a moral character and a belief in yourself. Thank you to the many agencies that came to share their work and personal experiences with us. Thank you Mr. Hancock for organizing everything.
