Inspiration in an elementary school

I had an opportunity to volunteer at my daughter's school this week. I was inspired by the speech therapists and physical therapists who attended the school to assist students in the life skills class. These teachers were amazing cheerleaders for kids who were limited by wheel chairs and walkers. One instructor created a song which I hold in my heart. "Liam is walking". I am thankful my daughter is not insulated from the real world and attends a school which is diverse.
I felt lucky to be there and think all parents should take at least 1 day from work sometime during the year to volunteer in their child's school. You may be surprised at what you learn there.
